Notes
The Sabres remained unbeaten in their exhibition schedule with a 2-1 victory over the Blue Jackets at KeyBank Center on Tuesday. Tage Thompson and Jason Zucker scored for Buffalo, in a 34-shot effort The club once again played well defensively in front of goalies Alex Lyon and Devon Levi, who faced only 19 shots on the night.
Forward Jiri Kulich left practice with a pulled muscle. According to Ruff, it was not something of a major concern and was precautionary in nature and does not expect him to miss more than a day or two. Tyson Kozak took Kulich’s spot between Josh Doan and Jack Quinn.
Goalie Alexandar Georgiev will play the whole game on Thursday.
