Byron has been out since October 30th and is expected to miss a couple more weeks after the Canadiens called him “week-to-week.” With Byron out, Andrew Shaw has taken on a larger role.
Armia was forced to leave Tuesday’s game in New York and was not on the ice for Thursday’s morning skate. Armia will come out of the lineup vs. the Sabres, which means Tomas Tatar will play on the top power-play unit and Kenny Agostino was called-up to play on the third line and second power-play.

Matheson was suspended two games for his hit on Elias Pettersson last week, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. Matheson has not registered a point this season, but generates a solid number of shots and blocks for daily fantasy players.
