McAvoy was not on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision. With McAvoy absent, Mike Reilly took over on the top power-play unit during the session.


Korpisalo was not available for Thursday's game in Dallas and will miss at least the next three games. Elvis Merzlikins and Dainll Tarasov will serve as the Blue Jackets' goaltending duo while Korpisalo is out.

Johnson had ADR disc replacement surgery, the same surgery as Jack Eichel had. Johnson is expected to miss approximately three months, which means we won't see him until early-March.



Both Korpisalo and Elvis Merzlikins are dealing with non-COVID illnesses, so Daniil Tarasov has been recalled and is expected to start Thursday.

Mittelstadt has been out since suffering an upper-body injury in the Sabres' season opener. On Wednesday, he skated on the third line with Zemgus Girgensons and Rasmus Asplund but should be back on the top power-play unit in his first game back.




Jokiharju has been out since the season opener but will replace Will Butcher in the lineup on Monday. Jokiharju has 23 points (7G / 16A) in 116 games with the Sabres.





Brown suffered a dislocated thumb vs. the Flames on Tuesday and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Oskar Lindblom will replace him in the lineup on Thursday.
