Here's what you need to know.

For his elbow on Rasmus Dahlin during Monday's game, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced that Erik Cernak has been suspended for two games:
Dahlin was diagnosed with a concussion after the game. We'll have an update from Sabres head coach Ralph Krueger after the team's morning skate today.
