Buffalo Sabres News

Zucker was the victim of the Corey Perry that earned Perry a 4 game suspension.

Bishop has lost each of his last two starts with a 3.58 GAA and .899 SV%. He has a solid matchup tomorrow vs. the Sabres.

It appears as if Ennis (head) will be good to go for tomorrow when Buffalo plays Ottawa. Ennis will center Steve Ott and Leino who will play in his first game of the season.

Ennis missed the Sabres last game with a head injury he suffered during a hit vs. Philadelphia. Monitor his status prior to Saturday's game.

Zucker was the victim of a vicious hit by Corey Perry last night that will likely result in Perry being suspended. Zucker stayed down for a few minutes before being helped off the ice by trainers. When there are hits to the head the first concern is always a concussion, but the fact that Zucker is skating this morning is positive news.

An update on his status will come tomorrow.

Bishop lost his last two starts with a 3.58 GAA and .899 SV%. He has a tough matchup tomorrow against the Habs, I would look elsewhere.

Reimer should be well rested tonight in Winnipeg since the Maple Leafs have been off since Saturday. Reimer is 2-0-1 with a 2.84 GAA and .908 SV% on two days rest this season. He was born in Manitoba so he will be excited to start in Winnipeg tonight.

Ennis not at practice. Hecht moves up to the second line and Grigorenko fills Hecht's vacancy on Line 4.

Coach Ron Rolston said "Tyler Ennis is doing okay, just has a nice 'zipper' on his head from the stitches," the Sabres tweeted after the game. Monitor Ennis' availability for tomorrow's game vs. the Rangers.

Reimer has won all three starts he has made since returning from a knee injury. He will go again tonight vs. a Penguins team he has played well against in his career. He is 3-0-1 with a 2.20 GAA and .920 SV% in four career starts vs. Pittsburgh. He is still a risky fantasy play but those numbers are encouraging incase he is your best choice.

Reimer has won each of his first two starts since returning from his knee injury. His numbers haven't been great in those two wins (2.97 GAA and .895 SV%) but he has given the Maple Leafs a chance to win. He is clearly the #1 netminder in Toronto and is a solid #2 fantasy option going forward.

Bishop made 26 saves during the Sens 3-2 victory over Toronto in their last meeting.

Reimer looked a little shaky in his return to the Maple Leafs crease but he still recorded the 5-4 overtime win vs. the Islanders. He stopped 24 of 28 shots (.852) he faced against the Isles and will look to improve on that number against the Devils tonight. He has a good matchup tonight vs. a Devils team without Martin Brodeur that has lost six of their last seven games.

Bishop has been spectacular since taking over for Craig Anderson. He has won four games in a row with a 1.69 GAA and .949 SV%. He has a tough matchup vs. a good offensive Flyers team.

Reimer hasn't played since February 11th when he suffered a knee injury. He will be back between the pipes tonight when the Maple Leafs take on the Islanders. Reimer had been playing great before going down with the injury so he will look to pick up where he left off. This is a pretty good matchup for him as long as the Leafs can slow down New York's dynamic duo of John Tavares and Matt Moulson.

Bishop has won his last three outings while posting a 2.02 GAA and .931 SV%. Ottawa is surprising everyone by continuing their solid play without Spezza, Karlsson and Anderson. He has a tough matchup vs. the Habs who have won six of their last seven.

Sounds like Reimer is close to returning.

With Craig Anderson out with an ankle injury it will be Bishop that will assume the starters role. Bishop is 2-2-0 with a 2.61 GAA and .919 SV% in limited action this season. He should make for a decent start today vs. the Maple Leafs as long as the Sens can find the back of the like they were unable to do on February 16th when the Leafs beat them 3-0.

Reimer skated today but still is not quite ready to return to the Maple Leafs net. He could be back next week.
