Russian defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin will not take part in the Buffalo Sabres' pre-game warm-up during the team's Pride Night later on Monday due to safety concerns after his birth country's anti-gay laws were amended last December, the NHL team said.

Lyubushkin is expected to play against the visiting Montreal Canadiens but will not join team mates who wear special Pride-themed jerseys and use sticks with rainbow-colored tape that will be auctioned off to benefit local Pride organizations. "That said, we are aware of general threats to certain players, and understand their decision to forego risk."
