Benoit, who left Monday's game with a lower-body injury, did not skate at practice Thursday.

Analysis:

The Sabres don't play until Friday, which gives Benoit a little more time, but his status is questionable at best until further notice. The veteran defenseman could sit out the Sabres' two remaining games, though there has been no news of a call-up from AHL Rochester yet. Benoit has one goal and nine points in 59 games this season with 98 blocked shots.
