Quinn has been enjoying a solid rookie season prior to his injury, scoring a goal and five points along with 15 SOG through 12 games played. The 21-year-old is considered week-to-week with an undisclosed injury after it was announced Monday he was being evaluated.
Quinn will head to the press box Thursday as Buffalo takes on the Vegas Golden Knights. The 21-year-old has a goal and four assists through 11 games this season while playing 12:31 ATOI.
Head coach Don Granato claimed "He won't be out long" in reference to 21-year-old Jack Quinn being left out of the lineup Tuesday. The 2020 No.8 overall pick has struggled to find ice time early on this season averaging 10:29 TOI through his first two games while putting up zero points.
This is a terrible break for the rookie winger, who recorded his first career goal and assist in his second game on Thursday. Quinn will likely return to the AHL once he's healthy to get back up to speed but could see some playing time with the Sabres down the stretch.
Quinn played in one game with the Sabres earlier in the season and is set to play in the top-6 on Thursday. The 20-year-old winger currently leads Rochester (AHL) with 35 points (18G / 17A) in 24 games.
Quinn was the No.8 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday. Quinn was on the ice for Monday's practice, skating with Dylan Cozens and Vinnie Hinostroza. The 20-year-old winger has 12 goals and 14 assists (26 points) in 20 AHL games this season.
