Scott Ratzlaff - Secures monthly honor in ECHL Ratzlaff was named the ECHL Rookie of the Month for October on Tuesday.

Impact Ratzlaff posted a 3-0-0 record, 1.29 GAA and .966 save percentage over three October appearances with ECHL Jacksonville. The Sabres prospect should have a better path to consistent playing time in the ECHL this year, as AHL Rochester's crease is occupied by Alexandar Georgiev and Devon Levi. Ratzlaff is likely a few years away from competing for NHL minutes in Buffalo, though the team's crowded goalie pipeline, which also includes Levi and Topias Leinonen, could lead to a trade for one of those goalie prospects to free up minutes for the others.

Alex Lyon - Set to face Utah Lyon will tend the home twine Tuesday versus the Mammoth, Michael Augello of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lyon has lost back-to-back outings in overtime while allowing four goals in each game, and he's dropped three of his last four overall. The veteran netminder is 3-4-2 with one shutout, a 2.90 GAA and a .911 save percentage across nine appearances this season. He'll have his hands full against an 8-4-0 Mammoth club that is tied for 10th in the NHL with 3.50 goals per game in 2025-26.

Tyson Kozak - Might play Thursday Head coach Lindy Ruff conveyed that he wouldn't rule Kozak (lower body) out for Thursday's home game versus the Blues, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

Impact Kozak is set to miss his fifth consecutive game Tuesday against Utah, but he's certainly closing in on returning to the lineup. The 22-year-old will need to be activated off injured reserve in order to suit up, but when that happens, he should slot back into a bottom-six role.

Jiri Kulich - Unlikely to play Thursday Kulich (undisclosed) looks poised to miss Thursday's clash with the Blues, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Kulich looks set to miss at least the next two games for the Sabres, which could make him a candidate for injured reserve if the team needs a roster spot. Prior to getting hurt, the 21-year-old center was mired in a four-game goal drought during which he recorded a mere four shots. If Kulich doesn't start shooting the puck more, he may be hard-pressed to match his 15-goal total from last year.

Jason Zucker - Designated for IR Zucker (illness) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Zucker was already considered a heavy doubt to play versus the Mammoth on Tuesday, but this move confirms the veteran winger won't be an option. Even if the Sabres' use a retroactive designation for Zucker's IR placement, he should be expected to miss at least the team's next three outings while on IR. Beck Malenstyn and Isak Rosen could see increased minutes with Zucker on the shelf.

Noah Ostlund - Up with big club Ostlund has been elevated to the NHL roster ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Utah, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Impact Ostlund is pointless through four NHL appearances this year, registering six shots, three blocks and one hit while averaging a mere 10:50 of ice time. With Tyson Kozak (lower body) returning to practice, the 21-year-old Ostlund may not get into the lineup versus the Mammoth.

Jiri Kulich - Doubtful for Tuesday's game Kulich is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Utah due to an unspecified issue, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Kulich was unable to finish Saturday's game against the Capitals due to his issue, but Ruff said that the issue isn't a physical concern or an injury. Kulich will presumably be sidelined for at least one game and should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

Jason Zucker - Doubtful for Tuesday Zucker (illness) is unlikely to play against Utah on Tuesday, according to Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

Impact Zucker didn't participate in Monday's practice, and he will probably be replaced on the top line by Jack Quinn. The 33-year-old Zucker has four goals, seven points, 27 shots on net and 15 hits across 12 appearances this season.
