Raleigh, NC (WGR 550) - Sabres coach Lindy Ruff has declared defenseman Jay McKee out for tonight’s Game 7 of the Eastern Confrence Finals in Raleigh. McKee has what Ruff calls a “freak infection” in his leg.

WGR’s Paul Hamilton is reporting that McKee recieved treatment in a Buffalo-area hospital last night. He did not fly with the team to Raleigh. A cut McKee suffered during the Ottawa series was the cause for the infection.

Paul Hamilton is also reporting that injured defenseman Teppo Numminen did not take the morning skate at the RBC Center in Raleigh, NC. Hamilton said the skate was not optional.
