BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Sabres are getting some much needed time off during the All-Star break. The team is dealing with injury after injury after injury this season; part of the reason why the Sabres are tied for last in the NHL's Eastern Conference going into the All-Star break.

One player that just can't seam to get a break is forward Jochen Hecht. Prior to the Sabres 2-1 shootout win at the New Jersey Devils Tuesday, Hecht did not feel right and left the team's morning skate.

It was revealed that he had another concussion, his second this season and his third in a year's time.

After the Sabres win, head coach Lindy Ruff spoke about Hecht's situation.

"We're worried. First you're worried for the players health. To go a couple of days and then come back and feel like he did, first and foremost, you want the player to feel right. To come off and feel the way he was tells us, you know, that there is something wrong," said Ruff.
