No Michael Sauer on ice. Hopefully not a setback, but doesn't look good. We'll see #NYR
Sauer still has no timetable from his concussion. He posted a goal and three points in 19 games before getting hurt. Expect him to stabilize the blue line upon his return.

Tortorella said he's not aware of any setbacks for Michael Sauer, but assumes trainer kept him off ice to do work off it #NYR
Not being able to train certainly depleted Sauer's strength so his workout regime likely will focus on strength and conditioning. Once he returns, he should get the Rangers blue line back to full strength.

Also, defenseman Mike Sauer (concussion) is not on the ice for today’s practice, the second straight day he has not skated. Yesterday, coach John Tortorella reported “all’s good” with Sauer and said he was doing off-ice work with strength and conditioning coach Reg Grant.

Torts says Mike Sauer did off-ice workouts today. "All's good," Torts says about Sauer.
Getting Sauer back into the lineup would make the team's defense fully healthy for the first time all season. The St. Cloud, Minnesota native scored a goal and three points in 19 games before getting hurt.

Torts reports that Michael Sauer (concussion) is "due to work out today...he had a good week (last week)", but has no further update
Sauer remains out indefinitely. His return to the lineup would certainly boost an already-strong Rangers blue line.

he is progressing, feeling better, taking part in contact drills...no timetable to return
Sauer is not an offensive defenseman therefore he doesn't have much fantasy hockey value. However, when he does return, expect the Rangers to get a boost on their blue line.
Dec. 28, 2011, 2:07 p.m.
Torts says Mike Sauer (concussion) has done some very light workouts but "he's not going to be with us for a while."
Sauer won't play for the Rangers for quite a while after taking a huge hit from Dion Phaneuf. The oft-injured defenseman is working out which is a good sign for the concussion-like symptoms.

not skating, and no new update...RT @bpaine888: @JimCerny Sauer skating? Any update?
Probably safe to eliminate Sauer from any immediate plans as he should be out a while.
Dec. 13, 2011, 11:47 a.m.
“He was diagnosed with a concussion,” Tortorella said. “I don’t know what grade. He’s day to day.”
Sauer is a big part of the team's blue line and will be missed. Expect his absence to hurt the team's overall defense which could hike up Henrik Lundqvist's GAA.
