Del Zotto has been healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Jack Roslovic in the lineup on Saturday. Del Zotto has two goals and five assists in 35 games this season.


Sabres' GM Kevyn Adams said that Cozens is more day-to-day than week-to-week and that they expect him to miss at one week. With Cozens out, Riley Sheahan is expected to move up into the top-6 on Wednesday.

Gaudette was on the ice for the start of Tuesday's practice but was pulled immediately once the results of his test came back positive. Gaudette will undergo further testing to determine if it was a false positive but this doesn't bode well for him playing on Wednesday.

Cozens left Monday's game vs. the Flyers with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Sabres did not provide much of an update on Cozens' status but said they didn't believe that it was season-ending. The fact that they even mentioned that, suggests that Cozens is going to miss some time, so don't expect to see him Wednesday.

Highmore replaced Dylan Strome in the lineup on Sunday but they will swap spots on Tuesday. This marks the fifth time in seven games that Highmore will be a healthy scratch.

Amadio had a career-high 16 points (6G / 10A) in 58 games a season ago but was held without a goal and just two assists in his first 20 games of 2021. In Ottawa, he will likely fill Artem Anisimov's fourth-line/reserve role after Anisimov was placed on waivers.




Ullmark has been out since February 25th but appears set to start Saturday vs. the Bruins. Ullmark was steady early in the season, going 5-4-2 with a 2.44 GAA and .919 SV% but the wheels have completely fallen off in his absence.


Larsson was one of four Ducks' players that was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, putting Wednesday's game in jeopardy. Larsson was a healthy scratch on Monday, so expect him to sit out for a second straight game on Wednesday.


Cozens left Thursday's game with an upper-body injury following a hit from Zach Aston-Reese and it will keep him out of Saturday's rematch. Riley Sheahan is expected to centre the top line with Cozens and Jack Eichel out.

Cozens was hurt on a hit from Zach Aston-Reese on Thursday and was not on the ice for Friday's practice. Cozens, who is still being evaluated, is considered day-to-day, so don't expect to see him on Saturday.

Cozens did not play Sunday vs. the Flyers but will play Tuesday in New York. Cozens is expected to replace Casey Mittelstadt and skate on the third line with Cody Eakin and Tobias Rieder. The rookie forward has three goals and one assist in 14 games.
