Status report
Neither team held a morning skate after each played Saturday; the Jets won 5-3 at the Carolina Hurricanes, and the Sabres defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 7-2. … Brossoit is expected to start after Hellebuyck made 32 saves Saturday. … Vilardi, a forward, returned to Winnipeg for further evaluation, coach Rick Bowness said Saturday. … Luukkonen could play again after making 24 saves against Vegas; Sabres coach Don Granato said before the game Saturday that a decision on his goalie wouldn’t be made until possibly Sunday morning. If Comrie plays, it will be his first start since Feb. 15 (a 4-0 loss to the Florida Panthers).
