The Sabres can't afford to wait much longer for players to find their game, so changes to the forward lines and defensive pairs could be on the horizon in Buffalo.
Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff tried to send a message to Jiri Kulich by demoting him to the "fifth line" in a recent practice. That's usually reserved for players who will be scratched the next game, but in Kulich's case it was simply an attempted wake-up call.
