Buffalo Sabres News

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.

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 - 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.

Impact Fiddler-Schultz has scored five goals over his last six games, though Sunday marked his first multi-point effort since Jan. 3. The 23-year-old forward now has career highs in goals (15) and points (27) this season, surpassing the 13 goals and 26 points he put up in 51 regular-season appearances as an AHL rookie in 2024-25. He still needs to find a bit more offense before he'll be an NHL option.
