The Sabres have announced that studio analyst Mike Robitaille was in a "minor car accident" Wednesday evening and will not return to the team's television broadcasts until after the Olympic break. Rob Ray will move into Robitaille's role during intermissions and after the games.
"Mike is doing well and everybody in the Sabres organization wishes him a quick recovery," the team said in a statement.
