Quinn was the No.8 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday. Quinn was on the ice for Monday's practice, skating with Dylan Cozens and Vinnie Hinostroza. The 20-year-old winger has 12 goals and 14 assists (26 points) in 20 AHL games this season.
Thompson was missing from Monday's practice after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list. Jack Quinn was recalled from Rochester (AHL) and skated in the top-6 in Thompson's absence.
Adin Hill has been confirmed to start Thursday's game in Buffalo but Reimer may not be able to back him up.
The Sabres placed three more players in COVID-19 protocol, bringing their total to five players ahead of their game Thursday vs. the Sharks. Dylan Cozens is expected to be back in the lineup tomorrow, replacing Krebs on the second line.
The Sabres placed three more players in COVID-19 protocol, bringing their total to five players ahead of their game Thursday vs. the Sharks. With Tuch out, the Sabres are expected to reunite Jeff Skinner, Tage Thompson and Victor Olofsson.
Lafferty was a fourth-round pick in 2014 and is in his third season with the Penguins. The 26-year-old winger has picked up just two assists in 10 games this season.
Reimer was yanked after surrendering six goals on 17 shots in the first period of Sunday's loss in Pittsburgh. Reimer has been all over the place recently but overall, he is 5-2-0 with a .907 SV% in his last seven games. Tonight he'll face a Red Wings team that has lost six of their last eight games while averaging just 2.4 goals for and 4.3 goals against per game.
Peterka failed to record a point in two games with the Sabres but did not look out of place at the NHL level. His stay was never expected to be a long one, so he gets sent back to the AHL to clear the way for Jeff Skinner to return from the COVID-19 protocol list.
The Senators are set to play Saturday in Toronto but it looks like they'll have to do it without one of their bottom-9 wingers and Josh Norris.
Tuch was scheduled to make his Sabres debut before the Christmas break but the games were postponed, so it had to wait until tonight. Tuch will start his Sabres career on the top line with Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka and will also serve as the net-front presence on the top power-play unit.
The Sabres have quite a few players in COVID-19 protocol and Bryson is the latest to be added. With Bryson out, the Sabres have added Casey Fitzgerald and Ethan Prow to the active roster and both are expected to play on Wednesday.
