Buffalo Sabres News
Quinn was promoted to the Sabres roster and is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday.
Quinn played in one game with the Sabres earlier in the season and is set to play in the top-6 on Thursday. The 20-year-old winger currently leads Rochester (AHL) with 35 points (18G / 17A) in 24 games.
Line Change
Thompson (travel) will not play on Tuesday.
Thompson was not able to travel to Canada for Tuesday's game due to COVID-19 international travel rules, so he'll be replaced by Mark Jankowski vs. the Senators.
Zucker (lower-body) will be back in the Penguins lineup on Monday.
Goalie Start
Reimer will start Monday vs. the Kings.
The Sabres have placed Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower-body) on IR.
Luukkonen suffered a lower-body injury last Tuesday and was listed as week-to-week, so moving him to IR created a roster spot for reinforcements. He'll be eligible to be activated whenever he is healthy.
Samuelsson was recalled from Rochester (AHL) and will draw into the Sabres lineup on Monday afternoon.
Samuelsson has scored two goals with 13 assists (15 points) in 20 AHL games this season. Monday will be his season debut but has appeared in 12 NHL games since being drafted in the second round in 2018.
Zucker (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Monday.
Zucker has been out since December 19th but was on the ice for Sunday's practice and will be a game-time decision for Monday's game in Vegas. Zucker skated on a line with Brian Boyle and Kasperi Kapanen in the session and has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 30 games this season.
Bryson (upper-body) will not play on Monday afternoon.
Bryson picked up an upper-body injury during Saturday's loss in Detroit and will miss the rematch vs. the Red Wings on Monday. Will Butcher will draw into the lineup to replace him.
Krebs (COVID-19 protocol) is expected to be back in the Sabres lineup on Monday afternoon.
Krebs missed four games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Monday after being a full participant in Sunday's practice. Krebs skated on the third line with Vinnie Hinostroza and Kyle Okposo on his wings.
Thompson has cleared COVID-19 protocol and will be back in the lineup on Saturday.
Thompson has missed the last two games but will replace Zemgus Girgensons in the lineup on Saturday. Thompson has been terrific this season, scoring 12 goals with 11 assists (23 points) in 34 games.
Clague was activated from COVID-19 protocol.
It's unclear whether or not Clague will draw into the lineup on Thursday but with Chris Wideman suspended, he may have to play. Clague has one goal and no assists in eight games with the Canadiens.
Luukkonen is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Luukkonen suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's loss to the Lightning and is expected to miss at least a few weeks. The Sabres' goaltending situation is a mess right now with Luukkonen and Dustin Tokarski listed as week-to-week and both Craig Anderson and Malcolm Subban out month-to-month. That currently leaves Aaron Dell and the recently signed Michael Houser as their two active goalies.
Byram (personal) will not play Tuesday in Nashville.
