Sobotka (knee) agreed to terms on a short-term deal with NLA team SCRJ Lakers on Friday.

With the Sabres being one of seven NHL teams that won't be part of the playoffs, Sobotka (knee) has played his last game of 2019-20 and will soon become an unrestricted free agent, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Sobotka (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the 2019-20 campaign, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Sobotka (knee) underwent successful surgery Tuesday and will be out indefinitely.

Sobotka (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

Sobotka will miss 4-6 weeks due to his lower-body injury.

Sobotka (knee) won't play Saturday against Tampa Bay, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Sobotka suffered an apparent knee injury in Friday's matchup with the Lightning and will not return to the game.

Sobotka has received words of praise from new coach Ralph Krueger and will remain on Jeff Skinner's line until further notice. "Sobotka just doesn't get the credit he deserves here," said Krueger. "He's allowing (Marcus) Johansson and Skinner some freedom to take some risks here and there. He's an unbelievable physical presence on that line, and we're so pleased he was rewarded with something offensively today. I'm sure that will give him confidence for the future."

Sobotka (upper body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's preseason matchup with Columbus, WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
