Robin Lehner will be in goal for the Sabres after backup Anders Nilsson made 46 saves and stopped all three shooters in a 2-1 shootout win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. "I think [starting Nilsson] was a consideration; we did think about it," coach Dan Bylsma said. "But again, as we play tonight and two nights later and then against Washington there's three more games this week. Anders earned another start in one of those games." Center Ryan O'Reilly (oblique) skated on Monday but will not play. "I feel real good, but unfortunately there's still a little bit of aggravation and I've got to be smart," O'Reilly said. "Unfortunately I won't be going tonight, but soon though." The Sabres are 1-4-2 in their past seven games, but were pleased with their previous game. "I think we had a certain amount of desperation and attention to detail defensively on the defensive side of the puck and we certainly didn't keep Pittsburgh off the board in terms of scoring chances or shots; they had chances," Bylsma said. "We're going on to the next game that just happens to be against Calgary; we cannot lose that focus in how we're playing."
