Tonight's matchup

From @SabresPR's Game Notes…

Wednesday's practice

From the Ice Level Practice Report…
Johan Larsson was back on the ice with the Sabres after missing Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury. Krueger expressed optimism that the centerman will be ready to play against Detroit Thursday.
"He's looking really good," Krueger said. "I have to say, he felt good today in the skate. Larsson feels like a go right now. We'll confirm that tomorrow morning, but we were pleased with the skate today and that'd be real good news for us to at least get one of the centermen back."

Rasmus Dahlin (upper body) was on the ice ahead of practice but left before the session began. Curtis Lazar remained absent with an illness. Both are considered day-to-day.
"We'll keep monitoring it," Krueger said regarding Dahlin's injury. "He's questionable for tomorrow against Detroit, but it's definitely not a long-term injury."
The Sabres also issued updates on Kyle Okposo (upper body), Victor Olofsson (lower body), and Linus Ullmark (lower body), all of whom are now considered week-to-week.

Roster move

The Buffalo Sabres announced last night that forward Scott Wilson has been recalled from the Rochester Americans of the AHL.
Wilson joins the Sabres for his second recall of the season. He's appeared in two NHL games so far this year.
On Friday against Syracuse, he recorded three points (2+1) for the Amerks, including the game-winning goal. In 27 games with Rochester this season, he has 18 points (9+9).
In a corresponding move, the team has assigned forward Jean-Sebastien Dea to Rochester.
Last night, the Amerks extended their win streak to six games with a 4-2 victory in Cleveland.
