This decision follows an incident that unfolded less than 24 hours prior when Clifton was ejected during Friday's game against the New Jersey Devils for an illegal hit to the head of Devils' captain, Nico Hischier.
As a result of the suspension, Clifton will be absent from Sunday's game against the Colorado Avalanche and Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. He will become eligible to return to the Buffalo Sabres' lineup on Friday, November 3rd, when they face the Philadelphia Flyers once again.
