Status report
Dahlin will miss his second straight game; Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said the defenseman is 50/50 to return at the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. ... The Maple Leafs shuffled their top three lines significantly following their 5-4 loss at the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday, moving Nylander up to the first line play with Matthews and Roslovic and Paul to the second line with Tavares and Marchenko. ... MacEwen could play after being a healthy scratch the past six games, though Toronto coach Jim Hiller said he is still considering keeping the 11-forward, seven-defenseman lineup used the past two games.
