Sabres' Josh Norris: Deposits empty-netter
Norris scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.
Norris had missed the previous three games due to an undisclosed injury. With the empty-netter, the 26-year-old center has earned his first career playoff point, coming in his third postseason game. The center should continue to see middle-six minutes and power-play time if he can remain healthy. He was limited to 34 points, 69 shots on net, 24 hits, 27 blocked shots and 28 PIM over 44 regular-season outings.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Available for Friday
Norris (undisclosed) will be available for Game 6 on Friday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Norris has missed Buffalo's past three games due to the injury. He had 13 goals and 34 points in 44 regular-season appearances with the Sabres in 2025-26. Noah Ostlund is set to exit the lineup due to a lower-body injury, which coincides with Norris' expected return.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Won't play in Game 5
Norris (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Game 5 against Boston on Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Norris participated in Tuesday's morning skate and feels much better, but he will miss his third straight game. Head coach Lindy Ruff said Norris was "available" to play following Tuesday's session, but the 26-year-old forward is still on Buffalo's injury report. That suggests Norris may not be fully healthy despite potentially being an option to return to the lineup.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Might play Tuesday
Norris (undisclosed) could be an option for Game 5 versus the Bruins on Tuesday after head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters, "Norris is going to skate (Monday). He could be available."
Norris has missed the Sabres' last two playoff contests due to his undisclosed injury. While he failed to produce a point in his first two postseason contests, the 26-year-old center had 13 goals and 21 assists in 44 regular-season outings this year. If Norris can return for Game 5, it would likely be in a middle-six role.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Not available Thursday
Norris (undisclosed) will not play in Boston for Game 3 on Thursday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

Noah Ostlund (upper body) will replace Norris in the lineup Thursday. Norris could return to action as early as Sunday for Game 4 in Boston.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Tallies in shootout loss
Norris scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Stars.
Norris extended his point streak to six games (three goals, four assists) to end the regular season. He wrapped up with 13 goals, 34 points, 69 shots on net, 28 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 44 appearances. Norris has played in every game since the Olympic break, and it's likely a positive sign that the oft-injured center didn't rest Wednesday when the Sabres had some regulars out of the lineup. He'll be a middle-six option to start the playoffs.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Pots goal Monday
Norris tallied a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Norris found the back of the net late in the first period to level Monday's score at one apiece before the Sabres went off with four more goals. Overall, the 26-year-old center has 12 goals, 33 points, 67 shots on net, 24 hits and 24 blocked shots across 43 games this season. He's played a big role in helping Buffalo secure the Atlantic Division title during his five-game point streak. Norris has posted strong point-per-game numbers when healthy this season and could make an impact in the postseason from his middle-six role amidst Buffalo's stacked offense.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Gathers assist Friday
Norris logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
This was Norris' second game back from an injury to his ribs. The 26-year-old has operated in a middle-six role since his return, as well as seeing power-play time. He has potential to put up strong offense for the Sabres, but he'll need to stay healthy to do so. He's earned 18 points, 31 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 21 appearances.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Will be available Wednesday
Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Norris (ribs) will be available for Wednesday's game against New Jersey, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.
Norris has been sidelined since mid-January due to his rib injury, but he's been cleared to suit up in the Sabres' first game following the Olympic break.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Not yet ready to return
Head coach Lindy Ruff said that Norris (ribs) is progressing in his recovery but won't play in Monday's game against the Panthers, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Norris was upgraded to day-to-day last week, but he hasn't yet received the green light to return to game action. Following Monday's matchup, the Sabres have two more games on their schedule before the Olympic break, but it's not yet clear if the 26-year-old will be available Tuesday against the Lightning or Thursday against the Penguins.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Labeled day-to-day
Norris has been classified as day-to-day by head coach Lindy Ruff, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports Monday, but won't play this week, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Norris being labeled day-to-day but then being ruled out for the next three games is a little strange, but either way, he certainly seems to be heading in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old Michigan native was rolling offensively with seven points in his last nine outings. Norris should slot into a middle-six role once back in the lineup.
