SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. - Breathe easy, Sabres fans. A 3-2 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at Essar Center on Wednesday night was followed with a bit of good news: Ryan O'Reilly's exit in the first period with a lower-body injury was simply precautionary, according to coach Dan Bylsma.
"He tweaked something in a muscle and we decided we weren't going to go any further with it," Bylsma said. "He came back out and gave it a try. We just said we didn't want to take any chances."
