Hart stops 28 shots; Flyers blank Sabres 3-0 again Carter Hart stopped 28 shots and the Philadelphia Flyers shut out the Buffalo Sabres on consecutive days following a 3-0 win
No help in season debut Johansson made a career-high 35 saves Sunday in a 3-0 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Johansson was making his first start of 2020-21 and just his second appearance overall, his last coming in relief back on Jan. 19 against the same Philadelphia squad. He was perfect through 20 minutes Sunday, but goals by Sean Couturier and Michael Raffl in the first 1:37 of the middle frame effectively put the game away.

Silenced in return Eichel (lower body) was held without a point and registered three shots and three hits in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Flyers.
Impact Buffalo's franchise center returned after missing the previous two games with his injury, but he failed to produce a point for the fourth time in his last seven games. It's been a frustrating season for Eichel, who has just two goals and 12 assists with a minus-7 rating through 17 contests. He'll try to get untracked Tuesday against the Rangers.

Officially in Sunday Eichel (lower body) will play in Sunday's game versus the Flyers, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Eichel is back in action after spending the last two games in the press box. The 24-year-old will center the first line flanked by Victor Olofsson and Sam Reinhart as he looks to build on the 14 points he produced through the first 16 games.

Skates with first line in warmups Eichel (lower body) centered the first line during warmups ahead of Sunday's game versus the Flyers, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Sabres said they'd reveal their final verdict on Eichel's status after warmups. He's certainly on the right track after handling his typical role during warmups, so all indications are that he'll play Sunday.

Making first start of season Johansson will guard the home net in Sunday's game versus the Flyers, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Linus Ullmark (lower body) is out for at least a month, and Carter Hutton started in Saturday's loss to the Flyers. In turn, Johansson will make his first start of the year. The 25-year-old has a decent AHL resume, but he's produced an underwhelming .894 save percentage and a 2.95 GAA over seven career NHL appearances. The Flyers will bring a strong forecheck to the table, as they've averaged 3.41 goals per game this year.

Game-time call Sunday Eichel (lower body) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game versus the Flyers, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Eichel has missed the last two games, including Saturday's loss to the Flyers, but head coach Ralph Krueger is leaving open the possibility that the superstar will return Sunday. The 24-year-old produced 14 points over the first 16 games prior to this injury. The final verdict on Eichel's status will be made after warmups.

Drops to minors Fitzgerald was assigned to AHL Rochester on Sunday.
Impact The 2016 third-round pick has yet to make his NHL debut. Fitzgerald will continue to develop in the minors, where he has posted three goals and eight assists across 34 AHL games.

Ascends to taxi squad Smith was recalled from AHL Rochester to the taxi squad Sunday.
Impact Smith will practice and travel with the big club while on the taxi squad. The 26-year-old hasn't played an NHL game since the 2018-19 campaign, when he scored two goals over 11 contests. The Iowa native has been strong in the minors this season, producing six points over five games.

Bumps to taxi squad Bryson was designated for the taxi squad Sunday.
Impact In turn, Bryson's not expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Flyers. Brandon Davidson, who was called up in a corresponding move, likely will take Bryson's place in the lineup. Bryson posted a plus-2 rating and four shots on net over his first three NHL games.
10 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Moves to active roster Davidson was promoted to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game versus the Flyers.
Impact Davidson has played two games for the Sabres this year, but he could take the place of Jacob Bryson, who was designated for the taxi squad, in Sunday's game. Fantasy managers shouldn't have Davidson on their radar regardless.

Active for Saturday's game Bryson was promoted from the taxi squad and played in Saturday's game versus the Flyers, per CapFriendly.
Impact Bryson had three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in the 3-0 loss. The 23-year-old will likely continue bouncing between the active roster and the taxi squad, although the return of Rasmus Ristolainen could ultimately cut into Bryson's playing time.

Gets no help in loss Hutton made 36 saves in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Flyers.
Impact Buffalo's offense couldn't solve Brian Elliott and the team's defense didn't do much to clean things up in its own end, leaving Hutton hanging out to dry. The veteran figured to be the Sabres' No. 1 netminder through most or all of March with Linus Ullmark (lower body) landing on IR, but Hutton's 3.40 GAA and .893 save percentage don't offer much fantasy upside even in a larger role.
