Status report
Gibson, a goalie, is day to day. ... Mintyukov will play after being scratched the past two games, replacing Zellweger, a defensman. … Zegras, a forward, will serve the first of a three-game suspension for interference against Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen during a 5-4 overtime loss Sunday. ... Tuch and Zucker each will be a game-time decision; each was on the ice for the Sabres’ optional morning skate Tuesday after missing practice Monday for maintenance. If one or neither can play, Buffalo could go with a lineup of 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
