Jeff Skinner-Casey Mittelstadt-Alex Tuch
J-J Peterka-Peyton Krebs-Victor Olofsson

Ex. Benson
NOTE: Sabres head coach Don Granato indicated the possibility that Benson would step in on the second of back-to-back games, saying he was healthy to play. Since Buffalo traveled and did not hold a morning skate in Ottawa, it will not be known if the rookie will be in the lineup until just before game time.
Defense
Rasmus Dahlin-Mattias Samuelsson
Owen Power-Henri Jokiharju
Connor Clifton- Erik Johnson
Ex. Bryson
NOTE: Granato also said Samuelsson was nicked up after the Habs game but did not offer any status for Tuesday’s game.

Luukkonen
Comrie
Injuries
Devon Levi (day-to-day – lower body)
Jack Quinn (IR – Achilles)
