Status report
Staal and Svechnikov each is expected to return; Staal has missed four games because of a lower-body injury and Svechnikov two because of an undisclosed injury. … Kotkaniemi will be out at least a week after the forward was injured during a 5-1 loss at the Boston Bruins on Saturday, but Hurricanes coach coach Rod Brind’Amour said it’s “nothing too serious.” ... The Sabres are expected to dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 6-3 win against the Bruins on Sunday.
