Jordan Greenway - No timeline for return Greenway (abdomen) is trying a new treatment for his hernia injury, and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup, according to Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald on Wednesd...

Impact Greenway has been in and out of the lineup this campaign after he underwent two surgeries to attempt to solve the problem last season. In 2025-26, he has accounted for one goal, four assists, 29 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 48 hits across 33 appearances.

Zach Benson - Set to miss road trip Benson (upper body) is not expected to return during the Sabres' three-game road trip, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports Monday.

Impact Benson was already ruled out against the Devils on Wednesday, but it seems his absence will linger a little longer. Considering the 20-year-old winger has already missed two games due to his upper-body problem, fantasy managers can likely expect him to be designated for injured reserve prior to Wednesday's contests.

Josh Norris - Will be available Wednesday Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Norris (ribs) will be available for Wednesday's game against New Jersey, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Norris has been sidelined since mid-January due to his rib injury, but he's been cleared to suit up in the Sabres' first game following the Olympic break. Over 19 appearances with Buffalo this year, Norris has racked up six goals, 11 assists, 11 blocked shots and six hits while averaging 15:57 of ice time.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - In contention Wednesday Luukkonen (lower body) will be an option for Wednesday's road clash with the Devils, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Head coach Lindy Ruff wouldn't go so far as to confirm that Luukkonen will get the starting nod, but he will at least be available to serve as the backup to Alex Lyon if nothing else. In his last 10 appearances, the Finnish backstop is sporting a 6-2-1 record, 2.73 GAA and .912 save percentage. The Sabres' upcoming three-game road trip includes a back-to-back, so fantasy managers can expect him to feature sooner rather than later.

Zach Benson - Not expected to play Wednesday Benson (upper body, undisclosed) is not expected to play Wednesday against the Devils, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact The reason for Wednesday's absence is unrelated to the upper-body injury that caused Benson to miss the last two games before the Olympic break. The 20-year-old has had a strong season so far, registering 26 points (seven goals, 19 assists) in 42 games played for the Sabres this season. Benson will start the post-Olympic break stretch run four points away from matching his most in a season in his young career.

Zach Metsa - Recalled from AHL Metsa has been recalled by the Sabres from AHL Rochester, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Metsa is in the midst of a season in which he's spent a good chunk of time in both the NHL and the AHL. He's played 26 games with the Sabres, most of them coming in a two-month stint that ended earlier this month, and 16 with AHL Rochester. The 27-year-old has played well in the AHL, registering 15 points (two goals, 13 assists) in 16 games, earning himself another call-up to the big club.

Tage Thompson - Officially playing against Canada Thompson (undisclosed) will be available for Sunday's gold medal game against Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.

Impact Thompson exited Friday's semifinal win over Slovakia after blocking a shot off his foot, but he was expected to suit up in the gold medal game and has officially been given the green light against Canada. He's been productive during the 2026 Winter Olympics, recording three goals, an assist and a plus-3 rating across his five appearances.

Tage Thompson - Likely to play in gold-medal game Thompson, who is dealing with a foot injury, is expected to be available for Sunday's gold-medal game versus Canada, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Thompson blocked a shot off his foot and was unable to finish Thursday's 6-2 win over Slovakia. The 28-year-old looks set to play through the issue Sunday, though it's unclear if the Sabres will give him any time off once the NHL campaign resumes. It'll be worth checking in on Thompson's status before Sunday's title game.

Tage Thompson - Out for remainder of semifinal Thompson has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's semifinal matchup against Slovakia at the 2026 Winter Olympics due to precautionary reasons, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Impact Thompson went to the locker room to begin the third period of Friday's matchup, and he was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after. The United States had a five-goal lead upon Thompson's exit, and it's not yet clear whether the 28-year-old would be available for a potential gold medal game against Canada, but the fact that his departure was labeled as precautionary suggests that he could suit up Sunday.
