Status report

Levi could start after Luukkonen made 18 saves in a 3-2 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. … Girgensons, who has missed 17 games with a lower-body injury, could make his return. Girgensons was questionable Saturday, but did not play, with Robinson taking his spot on the fourth line. The Sabres would need to make a roster move to activate Girgensons from injured reserve. … Sabres coach Don Granato will miss his second straight game due to an illness. Seth Appert, coach of Buffalo's American Hockey League affiliate at Rochester, will fill in again. … Chabot will return after missing 12 games when he sustained a leg injury on Dec. 2. … Zub missed practice Saturday for maintenance, but will play. … Forsberg is expected to start for Ottawa.
