Status report
The Jets are not expected to make any lineup changes. … Dahlin, who a 5-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday after one shift in the third period, was not on the ice for the morning skate. The Sabres are hopeful the defenseman's absence is short term. ... Kozak could make his NHL debut in place of Quinn, who was the last forward off the ice after the morning skate. … Samuelsson, a defenseman, and Greenway, a forward, skated with the Sabres for the first time since each was injured, each in a no-contact jersey.
