Status report
Thompson took part in the Sabres morning skate and will play. ... Luukkonen is a game-time decision after missing five games prior to the Olympic break because of a lower-body injury. ... Buffalo recalled Wahlberg from Rochester of the American Hockey League on Tuesday but the forward is unlikely to play. ... Dunne is probable after missing 13 games because of a middle-body injury and Norris is probable after missing 12 games because of an upper-body injury. ... Jack Hughes did not attend the Devils morning skate after traveling back from Washington late last night, but is expected to play.
