Status report
Eakin, a forward, will not play because of soreness, Sabres coach Don Granato said. … Murray will make his NHL debut. ... Tanev took full contact during the morning skate Thursday but did not participate in line rushes. The forward is expected to miss his 16th straight game. … The Penguins will likely dress the same lineup it used in a 7-3 win at the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
