Status report
The Sabres did not hold a morning skate. ... Skinner, a forward who has zero goals and one assist in 14 games this season, skated with Asplund and Thompson at practice Sunday and could be a healthy scratch. … Borgen did not practice Sunday and is day to day. Sabres coach Ralph Krueger said it's possible the defenseman "might have to miss one game." ... Dal Colle, a forward, skated but will not play. .... The Islanders assigned goalie Ilya Sorokin to the taxi squad.
