When Jacob Josefson tweaked his ankle in Montreal on Nov. 25, it was said he'd take four to six weeks to recover. For now, he's ahead of schedule. Josefson was back on the ice with the Buffalo Sabres for an optional practice on Monday, just two weeks removed from sustaining his injury.
Josefson was among a group of 13 that also included defenseman Nathan Beaulieu, who's missed the last three games due to an illness. Sabres coach Phil Housley said that Josefson remains week-to-week, while Beaulieu is day-to-day.
"It's good to see him out there moving his feet and turning hard, cutting hard on his lower-body injury," Housley said of Josefson. "It's going to be a progression for him but we've got to be smart because of his injury."
