Sabres' Quinn suffers Achilles tendon injury

Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Quinn underwent surgery Wednesday to repair an Achilles tendon injury he suffered during offseason training, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams confirmed the injury but offered no timeline for Quinn to return, per Bill Hoppe of the Times Herald.

However, Friedman reported that Quinn will miss the start of the 2023-24 campaign as a result of the injury. Friedman also noted that the typical recovery timeline is four-to-six months.

Quinn recorded 14 goals and 23 assists in 75 games during his rookie season in 2022-23. The 21-year-old also had a successful showing with Canada at the World Championship, producing seven points in 10 games en route to a gold medal.

The Sabres drafted Quinn eighth overall in 2020.
