Greenway has been a game-time decision each game since returning from an injury earlier this month and is unlikely to play on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 27-year-old Greenway is averaging 15:55 time-on-ice, recording seven points (3G / 4A) and 54 hits in 20 games this season.
The Sabres are trapped in a season-worst 10-game losing skid (0-7-3) and, desperate for a win, will likely turn to Luukkonen between pipes on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 25-year-old Luukkonen has a 2.80 GAA and .903 SV% in 21 games this season (8-9-3). The Sabres enter Tuesday's contest as -119 road favorites against a Canadiens club that defeated them 7-5 on November 11th.
Levi was recalled yesterday and played against the Toronto Maple Leafs, allowing four goals on 40 shots (.900 SV%) in a 5-3 loss. It was his first NHL action since November 16th. The Sabres return to the ice on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens and it is unclear if they may opt to recall Levi again ahead of that contest.
Lafferty has not played since November 29th due to a lower-body injury but could return to the lineup on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. Lafferty has just one goal and zero assists in 21 games this season.
Greenway just returned from a 10-game absence due to injury and could be sidelined again on Saturday as he is dealing with soreness. The 27-year-old Greenway is averaging 16:04 time-on-ice, recording six points (3G / 3A) in 18 games.
Kulich will re-enter Buffalo's lineup after sitting out Monday's game against the Red Wings. Kulich has just three goals and zero assists in 18 games this season.
Kozak will take a seat on Wednesday as Jiri Kulich draws back into the Sabres lineup. Kozak has one goal in three games with the Sabres this season.
Bryson will take a seat on Wednesday to make room for Mattias Samuelsson's return from a lower-body injury. Bryson has zero goals and two assists in 17 games this season.
Luukkonen will make his 20th start of the season when the Sabres host the Rangers on Wednesday. The 25-year-old netminder struggled his last time out, allowing five goals on 28 shots in a 5-2 loss to Utah. Luukkonen owns a .902 SV% and an 8-7-3 record on the season. He's got a good chance of getting back in the win column on Wednesday as the Sabres enter action as very slight underdogs at +125 on the money line.
Samuelsson has battled several injuries lately, limiting him to only three games since the beginning of November. Before his most recent injury, the 24-year-old Samuelsson was averaging 16:52 time-on-ice and had one point (1G / 0A) in 12 games this season.
