Buffalo Sabres coach Ted Nolan was not optimistic updating the status of injured defenseman Josh Gorges on Friday.

Gorges has missed three games with a lower-body injury, and it now appears as though the 30-year-old blue-liner's season could be over.

Sabres Josh Gorges (lower body) probably done for season. "It’s leaning that way, but we’ll see in the next little bit here." - Ted Nolan — John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) February 20, 2015

Gorges was Buffalo's time-on-ice leader in both even-strength and shorthanded situations following the trade that sent Tyler Myers to the Winnipeg Jets. His injury means more work for new arrival Zach Bogosian, who is averaging more than 28 minutes of time on ice in his first three games with the Sabres.
