This Buffalo Sabres forward is likely to be scratched against the Blue Jackets.
The Buffalo Sabres are right back on the ice tonight (Oct. 17) to face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets. After a 6-5 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins last night (Oct. 16), they will be looking to bounce back against Columbus.
It appears that the Sabres are set to make a big change to their lineup for this contest against the Blue Jackets as well. Head coach Lindy Ruff revealed that Jack Quinn will "in all likelihood" be a healthy scratch for the Sabres against Columbus.
Hearing that Quinn is likely to scratched against the Blue Jackets is very notable. This is because the 23-year-old winger is a key part of the Sabres' forward group and is one of their brightest young stars. However, after a tough night against the Pens, Quinn is now expected to sit.
Quinn has had a slow start to the season for the Sabres, recording one assist and a minus-4 rating in his first five games. It will be intriguing to see how he responds to this expected scratch from here.
