Brandon Montour has been upgraded to day to day by the Buffalo Sabres. Montour has also regained his ability to grip a stick that had been impaired by the hand injury, and has returned to full contact practice with the team.
This update on Montour means that he could return to action anytime for Buffalo. That includes tonight’s game against the Arizona Coyotes if the Sabres deem he is fit to play. If he doesn’t return against Arizona, he will almost certainly be back in any games after that.
Montour returning could not come at a better time for Buffalo who just lost defender Marco Scandella to injuries.
