Status report
Samuelsson took part in the Sabres morning skate but will miss his 13th straight game; Buffalo coach Don Granato said he wants the defenseman to have more practice time before returning. ... Whether Pilut or Fitzgerald, a defenseman, plays will be a game-time decision... Comrie, a goalie, will be out multiple weeks, Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams said Friday. ... The Maple Leafs will dress the same lineup they used in a 3-2 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.
