Status report
Stone will not play after the forward was injured in the first period of a 5-0 loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. ... The Sabres held an optional morning skate. ... Coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Kulich was expected to undergo further testing to determine if he can “resume a higher level of fitness” and potentially rejoin the team for practice in the near future; the forward has not played since Nov. 1.
