Scott Wilson and Rasmus Ristolainen returned to practice with the Sabres on Tuesday as they prepared for their penultimate preseason game, at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday night.
Wilson had been absent since sustaining a lower-body injury in Toronto on Friday. Ristolainen missed practice on Monday due to an illness.
Sabres coach Ralph Krueger said that Wilson is available to play against the Blue Jackets, though a final roster will be announced later Tuesday. Wilson was one of 17 forwards at practice, all of whom are vying to crack the opening-night roster.
