Dahlin scored a goal in Monday's game against the Florida Panthers but exited the game after 9:06 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old Swedish defenseman has four points (2G / 2A) in six games this season. He remains day-to-day.
With Alex Lyon (upper body) still sidelined, the Sabres have relied heavily on Luukkonen, who hasn't delivered encouraging results. Luukkonen has an ugly 3.67 GAA and .812 SV% in four games (2-2-0). That said, the 27-year-old Finnish goalie played well in relief yesterday, saving 13 of 14 shots (.929 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers. The Sabres enter Tuesday’s contest as +139 road underdogs against a Montreal Canadiens team coming off a 1-0 shootout win over the Detroit Red Wings.

Grzelycyk has only appeared in one game with the Sabres this season and was placed on IR on Tuesday with a lower-body injury. The veteran defenseman signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Sabres after a successful PTO in the preseason, after he put up 12 points in 69 games played with Chicago last season.
After two seasons in Pittsburgh's organization, Caleb Jones now finds himself a member of the Buffalo Sabres after being acquired alongside Daniel Laatsch on Monday for Ryan Johnson. Jones appeared in seven games with the Penguins last season, but had start this year in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL), where he had three assists in four games played.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen hasn't provided adequate goaltending for the Sabres early this season, so they will hope for a better return on Monday as Ellis tends the twine against the Florida Panthers. The 26-year-old Ellis was serviceable in his two outings this season (1-1-0), saving 44 of 50 shots (.880 SV%). Ellis made his NHL debut last season, posting a 2.90 GAA and .903 SV% in 16 appearances (8-4-2). The Sabres enter Monday's contest as -112 home favourites against a Panthers team that has scored only nine goals in five games (2-1-2).
