Greenway (undisclosed) left practice early on Friday and will be a game-time decision in Philadelphia on Saturday.

Greenway played a season-low 13:26 time-on-ice on Thursday and exited practice early on Friday due to an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old Greenway is averaging 16:17 time-on-ice, recording six points (3G / 3A), and 40 hits in 16 games this season.

Thompson (undisclosed) will not be ready for Saturday but is hopeful to return on Wednesday vs. Los Angeles.

Thompson scored a goal on Monday, extending his goal-scoring streak to four games, but exited the contest after only 6:49 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury, did not play on Thursday and will not play on Saturday. The 27-year-old Thompson has been off to a terrific start to the 2024-25 campaign, with 18 points (11G / 7A) in 15 games and could return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Kings.

Levi will start vs. St. Louis on Thursday.

Levi entered Monday's 7-5 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in relief of Ukko Pekka-Luukkonen, who is battling an injury, and allowed two goals on four shots (.500 SV%). Levi has only started one game since October 17th and has an ugly 4.10 GAA and .866 SV% in five outings this season (1-4-0). That said, the Sabres enter Thursday's contest as -169 home favorites against a St. Louis Blues club outscored 15-5 during a three-game losing skid.

Georgiev will start vs. Los Angeles on Wednesday.

After a stretch of only playing one of eight games, resulting from a horrendous start of allowing three or more goals in his first five games (1-3-0) and posting a .810 SV%, Georgiev has started three straight (2-1-0), allowing seven goals combined and posting a solid .921 SV%. The Avalanche are riding a two-game winning streak and enter the action on Wednesday as -139 home favorites against a Los Angeles Kings club that has lost two of their past three (1-2-0).

Samuelsson (lower-body) is considered week-to-week.

Samuelsson made his return to the lineup from a three-game absence on Monday but exited the contest after only 6:49 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. Before his injury, the 24-year-old Samuelsson was averaging 16:52 time-on-ice and had one point (1G / 0A) in 12 games this season. He is expected to be out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis.

Mattias Samuelsson
Luukkonen (undisclosed) missed practice on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day.

Luukkonen struggled in the Sabres' previous outing, allowing four goals on 18 shots (.778 SV%), before being relieved by Devon Levi in an eventual 7-5 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Luukkonen has a 2.83 GAA and .903 SV% in 12 contests (6-4-1) and had started five straight (3-2-0). If Luukkonen misses any time, expect Levi to control the Sabres crease in the interim.

The 27-year-old Thompson has been off to a terrific start to the 2024-25 campaign, with 18 points (11G / 7A) in 15 games, and will be sorely missed by the Sabres if he misses any time.

Lyon (lower-body) returned to practice in full on Tuesday after missing the last two games.

Lyon appears to be nearing a return to the lineup after returning to practice on Tuesday, which will likely result in Ville Husso being sent back down to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). The Red Wings have lost two straight, splitting starts between Husso and Cam Talbot. They return to action on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Georgiev will start on Monday vs. Nashville.

An atrocious start to the season resulted in Georgiev only playing one game during an eight-game stretch from mid-October to early November. However, after two serviceable efforts (1-1-0), allowing five total goals and posting a .915 SV%, the Avalanche will turn to Georgiev for a third straight contest on Monday night. Colorado enters Monday's contest as -144 home favorites against a Nashville Predators club in last place in the Central Division (5-9-1).

Lyon (lower-body) is out on Friday in Toronto.

Lyon was the expected starting goalie for the Red Wings on Friday, but will be sidelined due to a lower-body injury that is not a long-term concern, according to head coach Derek Lalonde. Cam Talbot will start in Lyon's place on Friday and Ville Husso, freshly recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL), will start on Saturday.
