Status report
The Sabres won't make any lineup decisions until Saturday morning, coach Don Granato said. They used the same lines and defense pairs in practice Friday from an 8-4 loss at the Penguins on Thursday. … Goalies Jarry and DeSmith are each day to day and will not be available Saturday. ... Lagace could make his first NHL start since Feb. 1, 2019, with the Vegas Golden Knights. ... Ruhwedel could play for the first time since March 16, replacing Friedman on a defense pair with Ceci.
