Robin Lehner News

Halfway through his first game with his new team, Lehner suffered a fluky injury that is going to force him to “miss some time” according to Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma. Lehner went behind the net to play the puck and when he returned to the crease and went into the butterfly, he suffered a leg injury. Lehner was unable to put any weight on his leg and was spotted wearing a walking boot on his right foot after the game. Chad Johnson will take over as the Sabres netminder in the meantime.

Lerner will make his Buffalo regular season debut after starting four preseason games that yielded modest results—he was 1-2-0 with a 3.32 GAA and .884 SV% in 199 preseason minutes. The 24-year-old comes into 2015-16 with a career 2.88 GAA and .914 SV% and a big task ahead of him. Buffalo ranked 29th in the NHL with a 3.28 team GAA last year. On paper they are a better team, but they need better goaltending and it starts with Lehner.

Lehner, 23, fell behind Craig Anderson and Andrew Hammond at the end of 2014-15 and with two years left on his deal, the Senators decided to ship him to Buffalo. With the Sabres, Lehner has a shot to be their everyday starter. He was 9-12-3 with a 3.02 GAA and .905 SV% last year and has posted a 2,88 GAA and .914 SV% in 86 career NHL games.

Lehner suffered the concussion in a collision with his teammate Clarke MacArthur on Monday. MacArthur was also diagnosed with a concussion on Friday. Lehner was moved to IR on Thursday and there is no timetable for his return.

Andrew Hammond will make his first NHL start on Wednesday, so Robin Lehner will not play after a rough collision with Clarke MacArthur last night. There is still no update on the nature or severity of his injury.

Lehner, who has been filling in for the injured Craig Anderson, was injured in a collision with his teammate Clarke MacArthur. Both players left the game and did not return. If Lehner’s injury is serious, the Senators will be left with their third and fourth string goalies going forward.

Lehner allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Senators shootout loss to the Penguins on Thursday. He has gone 2-4-1 with a 2.56 GAA and .919 SV% in his last seven consecutive starts. Despite the high-volume of losses, he has a great matchup today with the Oilers in town—Lehner is 3-6-2 at home.

In his previous five starts, he has gone 1-4-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .917 SV%. The Sens have scored a combined six goals in the four losses, so it is not on Lehner.

With Craig Anderson still out, Lehner will make his second straight start, in search of his first win since December 13th.

Lehner surrendered five goals on 29 shots in the Senators loss to the Stars on January 13th. He has not registered a win since December 13th and sits at 6-7-2 with a 3.16 GAA and .900 SV%.

Lehner made 29 saves on 31 shots in the Senators 3-2 shootout win over the Bruins on Saturday afternoon. The strong outing has earned him back-to-back starts for the first time since November 20-22.
