BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Sabres centre Jochen Hecht is doubtful for Saturday\'s game against the New York Rangers because of a pulled leg muscle.
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said Hecht was day-to-day. Hecht likely got hurt late in Buffalo\'s 5-1 win over Toronto on Thursday night after playing more than 18 minutes.
Hecht, the captain for February, ranks fifth on the team with 37 points but has been held without a point the past five games.
Centres Paul Gaustad and Derek Roy and left-winger Thomas Vanek participated in Buffalo\'s pre-game skate Saturday after missing Friday\'s practice. They should be available to play against the Rangers.
The surging Sabres, 10-2-2 in their last 14 games, called up forward Marc-Andre Gragnani from their AHL affiliate in Rochester to replace injured forward Michael Ryan, who is out with a groin injury. Gragnani will likely make his NHL debut Saturday.
