What to Watch
1. Thompson Questionable, Rousek Recalled
Friday’s game was a big win for the Sabres, but top scorer Tage Thompson is considered “a question mark” for Saturday’s game. Thompson is currently dealing with an injury, and although he did return in Friday’s game, it’s probably best not to risk further setback.
