Thompson had missed the Sabres' skate Thursday due to an upper-body which led to some speculation that there may be an injury to worry about, but the all-star will play Saturday vs. the Flames. It is a sigh of relief for the Sabres, as Thompson leads them with 34 goals, 34 assists, 200 SOG, 24 PIMs and a +15 plus/minus through 50 games this season.

Byram last played on Nov. 4th due to a lower-body injury but will rejoin the surging Colorado Avalanche Tuesday.

Samuelsson missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but will be back in the lineup vs. Carolina. Samuelsson has missed 15 games this season and has just five points (1G / 4A) in 34 games.

Thompson was not on the ice for Monday's practice and is considered day-to-day. This leaves Thompson's status for Wednesday's game vs. Carolina in question. It's unclear when Thompson suffered the injury, as he finished Saturday's game in Minnesota with 20:58 TOI.
