Status report
The Sabres' lines will be juggled after they acquired Byram, a defenseman, in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche for center Casey Mittelstadt on Wednesday; Cozens and Krebs each is expected to move up a line with Olofsson expected to play on the fourth line. ... It was unclear whether Byram would arrive in time to be in uniform Wednesday. ... Kampf took part in an optional morning skate after missing practice Monday because of an illness. He is one of several player that will be a game-time decision because of illness, Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said. ... Giordano skated for the second straight day. The defenseman will miss his third straight game since sustaining getting injured against the Arizona Coyotes on Feb. 29. Keefe said Giordano is getting better but did not have a timeline for his return.
