Status report
Knight is expected to start; he made six saves in 20:38 in relief after Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 25 shots in a 7-6 overtime win at the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. ... Miller was removed from COVID-19 protocol Saturday but did not practice; the defenseman will take part in conditioning skates before rejoining the Sabres, coach Don Granato said.
