Status report
Dahlin will be a game-time decision because of a lower-body injury, Sabres coach Don Granato said. Dahlin did not participate in the morning skate. … Robinson will make his Sabres debut after being acquired in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. … The Bruins placed Forbort, a defenseman, on long-term injured reserve and recalled Lohrei from Providence of the American Hockey League on an emergency basis. … Bussi was recalled from Providence to back up Ullmark with Swayman, a goalie, out. … Marchand is expected to play after not practicing Wednesday.
