Buffalo Sabres News

Sheahan was hurt midway through Tuesday's game in Boston and will not be available for Thursday's game. With Sheahan out, Tobias Rieder will draw back into the Sabres lineup.

Bishop was expected to return at some point during the 2021 season but the Stars will keep him out to allow him time "to continue his rehabilitation and return to full health for the 2022 season." With Bishop out, the Stars will continue to roll with a goaltending tandem of Anton Khudobin and Jake Oettinger.

Cozens has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but is set to return today in Philadelphia. Cozens has had a tough year with injuries, scoring four goals with two assists (six points) in 25 games.

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.

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.

Byram remains day-to-day and will not be available for Monday's game vs. the Ducks. With Byram still sidelined, Daniel Renouf will remain on the third pairing with Ryan Graves.

Bryson was not on the ice for Monday's morning skate and is listed as day-to-day. With Bryson not expected to play on Monday, look for Matt Irwin to draw into the lineup vs. the Flyers.

Zucker has been out for just over one month with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Sunday's practice and is a game-time decision for Monday's clash with the Islanders. The Penguins are in desperate need of some healthy forwards, so Zucker will slot right back into the top-6 if he plays on Monday.

Byram was scratched Tuesday in Arizona but will play tonight vs. the Golden Knights. Byram is still searching for his first career goal and has just two assists in his first 18 NHL games.
