Beaulieu Out Pending Evaluation
It is unknown at the moment how long the Buffalo Sabres will be without defenseman Nathan Beaulieu after he was injured in yesterday's 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils. Beaulieu got up awkwardly after blocking a shot and now will have a medical evaluation to determine his status.

The 24-year-old Strathroy, Ontario native is in his first season with the Sabres after being traded over the summer by the Montreal Canadiens who took him 17th overall in 2011. In 3 games this season, Beaulieu has 2 assists, 2 penalty minutes, and a +1 rating. For his career, Beaulieu has appeared in 228 games with 7 goals and 55 assists.

Buffalo has now called-up Victor Antipin from the Rochester Americans to fill Beaulieu's role. The 24-year-old, Kazakhstan-born Russian is in his first North American season after a successful career in the KHL with Metallurg Magnitogorsk with whom he won 2 Gagarin Cups. Antipin has also represented Russia at the last three IIHF World Championships. He has 1 assist and a -1 rating in 2 games with Rochester this season.
