The Penguins received a conditional 2019 fourth-round pick that could become a third rounder.<\/p>\n<p>Sheary left the ice during line rushes during practice on Monday. He would not return after that. At the time, head coach <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/houslph01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Phil Housley<\/a> was very brief on what he saw from Sheary at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, he did,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/buffalonews.com\/2018\/11\/26\/sheary-a-game-time-decision-after-leaving-sabres-practice-early\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Housley said<\/a>, acknowledging Sheary left the ice early. &#8220;Just a little tweak.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Sheary has posted 54 goals and 51 assists in 208 NHL games. He has yet to play a full season in the NHL since signing with the Penguins in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Sheary is not the only injury that the team is currently dealing with, however. The Sabres also placed defenseman <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/scandma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marco Scandella<\/a><\/strong> on injured reserve this morning. Scandella had also missed the team&#8217;s last two games with what has been described as an upper-body injury. It was said to be unrelated to the injury Scandella suffered while blocking a shot on November 19th.<\/p>\n<p>In 478 career games, Scandella has 33 goals and 83 assists, though has only posted five points in 23 games thus far this season.<\/p>\n<p>In a corresponding move, the Sabres recalled <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/tennyma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matt Tennyson<\/a><\/strong> from the Rochester Americans. Tennyson has recorded one assist in the AHL thus far.

He had spent the previous four-plus seasons with HV71 of the Swedish Hockey League where he was named the top defenseman in 2017-18.<\/p>\n<p>The Sabres will look to bounce back as their 10-game winning streak was snapped on Thursday by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/lightning\/\" target=\"_self\">Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>. They will look to start a new streak against the Panthers. The Sabres currently have the third best record, 17-7-2, in the entire league.
