@engelheather Dahlin earns the second assist on Skinner's goal, extending his assist streak five games, matching the longest assist streak of his career and the fourth time he's done so.

@LLysowski Sabres goalie Devon Levi has a “nagging” lower-body injury. Short-term. Team taking a cautious approach so it doesn’t linger.
Zach Benson an option for Tuesday in Ottawa. They’ll see how he feel.

@LLysowski Matt Savoie is joining the Rochester Americans on a conditioning assignment.
He’s been on injured reserve and hasn’t played in a game since the finale of Prospects Challenge.

@pham1717 Granato said Levi and Benson were both a little sore yesterday so they won't play. He also said there's a benefit to Benson to take a breath and take things in for a game. He feels he'll be better for it. If you recall, he did that with Quinn, Peterka and Krebs.

@ByMHarrington #Sabres say Benson and Levi are both day to day with lower-body issues and that’s why they didn’t practice today. It was time to change goalies for a night or two anyway starting Saturday. We’ll see about Benson in the morning.

@ByMHarrington #Sabres just 1-13 on the PP so far and 27th in the NHL at 7.7%. The only teams worse are PHL (1-17), CHI (1-22), WSH (0-8), ANA (0-9) and STL (0-9).
Last season they were 9th at 23.4%. (1/2)

@JoeYerdon Devon Levi working the starters net this morning. Would be his fourth straight game to start the year.

@engelheather Don Granato confirms Tyson Jost is in, Victor Olofsson will be scratched. He said he likes what Jost brings on and off the ice. Also said he's intrigued by the potential of Krebs with the Cozens line.

@MatthewFairburn Casey Mittelstadt has an upper body injury. Tweaked something. Sabres are waiting for more info but doesn’t sound like a major concern.

@ByMHarrington #Sabres make what we’ve known since yesterday official: Benson and Bryson make the team and so do all three goalies. https://t.co/lS05uQByLG
@LLysowski Again, the Sabres are going to see how this goes. This is an extended look that he earned, according to Granato, by being a "very big, pleasant surprise" in camp and preseason games.
Benson can play 9 games without burning a year on his entry-level contract.
@LLysowski Zach Benson has made the Sabres' opening-night roster because Don Granato and Kevyn Adams decided the 2023 first-round pick can help them win right now.
"We think at this point that he's been very impactful. ... He's helping us with the bottom line right now and that's the key."
@SabresPR The Buffalo Sabres have signed defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to an eight-year contract extension worth $88 million ($11 million AAV). https://t.co/2RPEHSVkch

@pham1717 Granato said Erik Johnson had an aggravation of a lower body injury and wanted to play today, but Granato said it's not worth taking a chance. Jokiharju takes his place
@LLysowski Matt Savoie isn’t on the ice for the Sabres’ morning skate. He has yet to practice with the team in training camp as he works his way back from the shoulder injury.
@engelheather Don Granato says Alex Tuch is fine, just some soreness.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Sep 26, 2023
@LLysowski Jack Quinn is progressing well in his rehab. Kevyn Adams reminded reporters that even when Quinn is cleared to skate, there's a lot of work to do to be ready for games. The Sabres will be cautious.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Sep 21, 2023
@LLysowski Upper-body injury for Matt Savoie, said Rochester coach Seth Appert. Savoie is expected to miss some time at the start of NHL camp.
Will be evaluated further Tuesday. https://t.co/iTHYjW8htI

@FriedgeHNIC Dustin Tokarski back to Buffalo...2-wat $775K/$450K
@MatthewFairburn The Sabres signed D Connor Clifton to a three-year contract worth $3.33 million per year. Love this move for Buffalo's blueline. Between Clifton and Johnson they just got a lot deeper on defense.

@LLysowski Per a source close to the situation, Jack Quinn’s recovery is expected to be “closer to six months,” which means the Sabres have to plan to be without him until late December. https://t.co/jE5Rr66I4u

@FriedgeHNIC Buffalo prospect Jack Quinn had successful surgery last night to repair an Achilles tendon injury suffered this week during training. The talented forward is expected to make a full recovery (timeline tends to be 4-6 months), but will miss at least the start of next season.

@LLysowski The Sabres have signed defenseman Ryan Johnson (2019, first round) to a two-year, entry-level contract. He’ll report to Rochester.

@ByMHarrington Tuch also said his injury timetable was 4-6 weeks and he pushed to get back and was in the lineup in 16 days. #Sabres

@BillHoppeNHL Tage Thompson suffered a hip-pointer against New Jersey. He also began dealing with a lower-back problem around the all-star break and hurt his shoulder against Ottawa.

@LLysowski Rasmus Dahlin confirmed he’s been playing through multiple injuries. Has yet to give any thought to signing an extension. He’s leaving that to his agents at Newport Sports.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Apr 15, 2023
@ByMHarrington Granato confirms that Thompson is again banged up and won't play tomorrow. So he finishes the season at 47 goals. Rest of the lineup is going to be TBA. But others may sit as well. #Sabres

@SabresPR Tonight's win gives Buffalo 40 wins in a single season for the first time since the team won 43 games in 2010-11. Devon Levi joins Tom Barrasso and Don Edwards as the only Sabres goaltenders to begin their career with wins in four of their first five games.

@engelheather Dahlin with an assist on Mittelstadt's goal, giving him 70 points on the season.He's the second defenseman in Sabres history to reach the mark in a single season. Phil Housley is the other.

@MatthewFairburn Game 78. Devon Levi in net for Buffalo. Tage Thompson in the lineup again. https://t.co/mLcD1rtEjH
@LLysowski Tage Thompson received a Maintenance Day for practice but made it through the shootout win over Detroit without a setback. Simply sore today.
Granato: "Now it's a situation where he's got to deal with it and he's going to fight through it."
@LLysowski Jordan Greenway has a goal in three of his last four games. Skated 16:53 in the shootout win at Detroit.
Curious to see how he'll benefit from a full training camp under Don Granato. Tough moving to a team midseason that plays a drastically different style.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Apr 7, 2023
@LLysowski Only five players have scored more even-strength goals than Jeff Skinner since 2010: Ovechkin, Kane, Tavares, Stamkos and Marchand.
Skinner has 66 goals since the start of last season. And not many are better at chirping/antagonizing an opponent into doing stuff like this.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Apr 7, 2023
@LLysowski Tonight is Owen Power’s 82nd game in the NHL. He has 37 points since joining the Sabres.
Entering the game against the Red Wings, he was averaging 23:35 ice time in his career.
And he’s only 20 years old. https://t.co/rq7J0A4PjH
