Sabres play the Blue Jackets on 10-game win streak

The Buffalo Sabres aim to keep their 10-game win streak going when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets

Danton Heinen - Up from AHL Heinen was called up by Columbus on Thursday.

Impact Miles Wood (leg) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Heinen has a goal and two points in 13 appearances with Pittsburgh this season. The Blue Jackets acquired him from the Penguins on Monday in exchange for Yegor Chinakhov. Heinen was initially assigned to AHL Cleveland after the trade, and he registered an assist in one game with the Monsters before being summoned to the big club.

Dysin Mayo - Collects first point of season Mayo notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact Mayo picked up a helper in his second NHL outing of the season. It was his first point since he had 12 in 67 games for the Coyotes in 2021-22. The 29-year-old defenseman is filling in as an emergency depth option on the Blue Jackets' blue line, but he'll likely head back to AHL Cleveland once Zach Werenski (lower body) or Erik Gudbranson (hip) can come off injured reserve.

Charlie Coyle - Pots goal in loss Coyle scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact Coyle had gone six games without a goal, though he had four assists in that span. The 33-year-old had 10 points over 14 outings in December for his most productive month of the campaign. He's up to six goals, 25 points, 52 shots on net, 58 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 39 contests this season, mainly in a middle-six role.

Jet Greaves - Gives up three goals Greaves stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact Greaves was excellent in the first 40 minutes of play, but things changed quickly once the Devils scored three unanswered goals in the third period over a 1:56 span. Despite the loss, Greaves continues to deliver solid peripheral numbers while looking increasingly comfortable as the Blue Jackets' No. 1 goaltender. He has a 2.29 GAA and a .922 save percentage over his last 10 games despite a subpar 4-6-0 record.

Mason Marchment - Point streak reaches five games Marchment scored a goal and took three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact Marchment broke the deadlock for the Blue Jackets at the 6:18 mark of the first period with a wrister, a goal that extended his current point streak to five games. He has four goals and two assists over that span, and the 30-year-old veteran should continue to have plenty of opportunities to keep producing as a top-line and first power-play unit member for Columbus. Marchment has six points in five games with the Blue Jackets since being acquired via trade from the Kraken on Dec. 19. He's recorded a goal or an assist in his five appearances since the trade.

Miles Wood - Set to miss time Wood is dealing with a left leg or knee injury and appears likely to miss some time after leaving Wednesday's game against the Devils, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact The severity of Wood's injury isn't known, but head coach Dean Evason suggested the situation wasn't good. The Blue Jackets will need to make a move to have a full lineup for Saturday's game versus the Sabres, assuming their other injured players won't be ready by then.

Miles Wood - Exits Wednesday's contest Wood (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Devils.

Impact Wood was tangled up on a hit in the first period and required assistance leaving the ice. That leaves his status in doubt for a weekend back-to-back with games against the Sabres on Saturday and the Penguins on Sunday. The Blue Jackets don't have any extra healthy players available, so if Wood is unable to play, a roster move will likely be necessary.
