Connor Clifton Will Not Play On Friday
According to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio, Buffalo Sabres defenseman Connor Clifton (illness) will remain out of the lineup on Friday evening when they face the Nashville Predators. The 29-year-old has missed the previous two games and has not recovered from his illness. Hamilton noted that Clifton has lost a lot of weight while battling the illness. Over his previous five games, Clifton has tallied one helper with 15 hits, five blocks, and a -1 rating. While sidelined, Jacob Bryson has entered the starting lineup and is expected to remain in that role on Friday evening. While Clifton has only tallied eight helpers (no goals) across 46 contests this season, the former fifth-round selection has been valuable in deeper leagues that score hits and blocks, as he has logged 134 hits and 69 blocks over this span.
