Marchand missed Friday's practice and his status for Saturday's matinee vs. New York is unclear. If Marchand can't play, look for Nick Ritchie to replace him on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak.

Bjornfot missed the last two games but is "good to go" for Friday's game in Colorado. Bjornfot has picked up two assists, nine shots and 10 PIMS in 11 games this season.




Rodrigues has missed the last 16 games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Saturday afternoon vs. the Flyers. Rodrigues will replace Anthony Angello, who was sent to the taxi squad.


Bennett will sit with Brett Ritchie drawing back into the lineup on Thursday. Bennett has scored just one goal with no assists in his last nine games.




Gregor plated 7:42 TOI on Saturday but will be scratched for the third time in four games on Monday. Alexander True will replace him on the fourth line.



Forsling was forced to leave Wednesday's game in the second period and did not return. Head coach Joel Quenneville said that they will "find out more in the morning," but it seems unlikely that he will be available on the tail-end of a back-to-back.



Forsling has been out since January 28th but will suit up against his former team on Wednesday. Forsling, who will most likely replace Noah Juulsen, was held pointless in his first three games of the season.


Reinhart was missing from the Sabres' morning skate due to a minor injury and is listed as a game-time decision vs. the Islanders. Rasmus Asplund skated in Reinhart's spot, so look for him to play if he's out.
