Tage Thompson - Questionable Saturday Thompson (undisclosed) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Islanders, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Impact Thompson scored a goal on four shots in 13:14 of ice time in Friday's win over the Devils. He left the game but was able to return, though it seems like the injury is lingering. The 25-year-old is up to 44 goals and 89 points through 71 games. Thompson will likely be considered a game-time call Saturday unless there's another update before the game.

Devon Levi - Practicing Friday Levi is at practice Friday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Levi signed his entry-level contract a week ago and then had to sort out his work visa status. That has apparently been fixed and the Sabres are excited for the young netminder to get into some practices and eventually make his NHL debut. Levi starred at Northeastern University the past two seasons, going 17-12-5 with a 2.24 GAA and .933 save percentage this season. He was even better in 2021-22 with a 21-10-1 record, a 1.54 GAA and an eye-popping .952 save percentage. He is considered the Sabres' goaltender of the future.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Starting Friday Luukkonen will be between the home pipes versus New Jersey on Friday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Luukkonen has struggled all season, despite his 15-11-4 record, as the Sabres have been a scoring machine this season, averaging 3.57 goals per game, third best in the NHL. Luukkonen has given up 21 goals on 169 shots in his last five starts. He has a mediocre 3.62 GAA as well as a poor .890 save percentage. Luukkonen will take on the Devils who are third in the NHL standings with 98 points.

Vinnie Hinostroza - Absent from practice Friday Hinostroza was absent from Thursday's practice for personal reasons, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Hinostroza has been a healthy scratch in six of the Sabres' last seven contests, so his potential absence against New Jersey on Friday is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. If he does get into a game, it will likely come at the expense of Zemgus Girgensons or Kyle Okposo.

Eric Comrie - Ready to go Comrie (lower body) is expected to be ready to go on the weekend, according to coach Don Granato, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Comrie was injured March 9, and the prognosis was week-to-week at the time. The netminder is battling for playing time with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Craig Anderson and rookie Devon Levi, who is expected to make his NHL debut shortly. Comrie is 8-9-0 with a 3.95 GAA and .877 save percentage this season.

Jordan Greenway - Practices Thursday Greenway (upper body) practiced Thursday but is not ready to return to the lineup, Sabres beat reporter Joe Yerdon reports.

Impact Greenway missed Tuesday's game versus Nashville and is expected to be out of the lineup Friday against the Devils. Greenway had two goals and seven points in 45 games with the Wild before the trade to Buffalo, where he has a goal in eight contests.

Jordan Greenway - Won't play Tuesday Greenway (upper body) will not be in the lineup against the Predators on Tuesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Impact Greenway is still considered day-to-day, so he is not expected to be out of action long term. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old New York native was mired in a five-game pointless streak during which he managed just five shots. With Greenway sidelined, Tyson Jost is expected to rejoin the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the Sabres' previous two contests.

Tage Thompson - Snaps three-game point drought Thompson netted a power-play goal in a 7-3 loss to Nashville on Tuesday.

Impact Thompson's marker came late in the second period, but Nashville was still left with a 6-2 lead. He has 43 goals and 88 points in 70 contests this season, including 32 power-play points. That's double his total production with the man advantage in 2021-22, which is a big part of the reason Thompson's also up from 68 overall points last season. The 25-year-old efforts Tuesday ended a three-game scoring drought.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jeff Skinner - Scores 30th goal of 2022-23 Skinner had a goal in a 7-3 loss to Nashville on Tuesday.

Impact It was Skinner's 30th marker of the season, making this the second straight campaign in which he's reached that milestone. Skinner was racing to the milestone from Feb. 18-March 11, providing nine goals -- along with six assists -- over 12 outings, but going into Tuesday's contest, the 30-year-old had slowed down with just one helper over a four-game goal-scoring drought. In addition to his 30 markers, Skinner has 68 points and 195 shots through 67 appearances this season.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Cozens - Tallies goal against Nashville Cozens found the back of the net in a 7-3 loss to Nashville on Tuesday.

Impact Cozens entered the contest on a three-game scoring drought. He ended that slump early in the second period while narrowing the Predators' lead to 2-1. Cozens has 27 goals and 58 points in 69 outings in 2022-23.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Makes six saves in relief Luukkonen stopped the six shots he faced in relief in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Nashville.

Impact Luukkonen entered the contest in the second period after Anderson surrendered six goals on 20 shots. The Sabres were down 6-1 when Luukkonen entered the game, so he ultimately wasn't charged with the loss. Nashville's final goal was scored on an empty net. The 24-year-old has a 15-11-4 record, 3.59 GAA and .891 save percentage in 31 appearances this season. If nothing else, Tuesday's stint in net was a way for the goaltender to put some distance between him and his disastrous 7-0 loss to Boston on Sunday in which he made just 18 saves.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Craig Anderson - Has rough night vs. Predators Anderson left Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Nashville in the second period after surrendering six goals on 20 shots.

Impact The Sabres were down 6-1 when Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen took over, and Anderson was ultimately charged with the loss. The 41-year-old is down to 10-11-2 with a 3.07 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 25 games this season. Anderson is in the midst of a terrible stretch, having allowed at least three goals in each of his last five contests.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Craig Anderson - Starting Tuesday Anderson will guard the home goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Anderson has won two of his last five games, allowing 16 goals over that span. The Predators have lost three games in a row, so this could be a solid spot for Anderson to bounce back after giving up five goals on 22 shots to the Flyers on Friday.
