Sabres suspend Berglund for failing to report to team
WASHINGTON — The Buffalo Sabres have suspended forward Patrick Berglund indefinitely for failing to report to the team.
The Sabres announced the suspension Saturday, hours before facing the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals. Berglund missed the past two games with what coach Phil Housley initially called an illness.
“From my knowledge talking to the medical staff, he was ill, so we handled it that way,” Housley said. “Obviously it developed into something different, and (general manager Jason Botterill) and the management are handling that.”
The 30-year-old Swede has two goals and two assists in 23 games this season. He was a healthy scratch earlier this season and missed five games with an upper-body injury.
