Status report
Neither team practiced Saturday. ... Kochetkov could start after he was scratched for a 4-3 win at the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. … Benson could return after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury, but the Sabres will need to make a roster move in order to activate the forward from injured reserve.
