The Sabres are suddenly playing better hockey and now Buffalo's forward group is set to receive a boost from returning players.
Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff announced two key forwards, wingers Zach Benson and Jason Zucker, will return to game action soon.
Zucker is expected to play Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Benson is also getting close, though an exact date wasn't provided ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Calgary Flames.
"I'm very encouraged that in a short period of time he'll be back," Ruff told reporters.
