Eichel underwent further testing this week and head coach Ralph Krueger announced that he's out indefinitely. The Sabres said they could not put a timeline on Eichel's return, so expect him to miss an extended period of time.


Hertl has missed the last six games after being added to the COVID-19 list but will return to the lineup on Friday. Hertl will be back on the second line with Timo Meier, who also is expected to return to the lineup, and comes in with 11 points (6G / 5A) in 17 games.




Lehner will miss his 14th straight game on Wednesday but the fact that he's going to the AHL to practice and maybe play, suggests Lehner could be back soon. For now, the Golden Knights will continue to lean heavily on Marc-Andre Fleury.

Pietrangelo missed Monday's game in Minnesota and will not play for at least the next three games. With Pietrangelo out, Nic Hague is taking on a larger role, which includes PP2 usage.

Stone missed Monday's game in Minnesota but will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's rematch. Alex Tuch moved to the top line with Stone out, so expect them to stick with the same lineup if he can't play tonight.
