Bad News In Buffalo: Sabres’ Hecht Out Indefinitely With Broken Finger

Bad news for Buffalo Sabres fans just as the playoffs are ready to begin.

Hecht, who missed the final three games of the regular season with the injury, participated in practice the last three days. On Wednesday, the finger was examined and they determined that surgery was necessary. The German is one of Buffalo’s better two-way forwards coming off of a 21-goal, 21-assist campaign with a plus-14 rating.
