Samuelsson has a goal, seven assists, 65 SOG, 18 PIMs and is a +12 plus/minus through 46 games but will not play Monday vs. Edmonton as he is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old just played in his 100th career game Saturday vs. Tampa Bay.
Line Change
Greenway (travel) did not make it to Buffalo in time for Saturday's game.
Dahlin (undisclosed) will be back in the Sabres lineup on Saturday.
The Sabres have acquired Jordan Greenway from the Wild for a 2023 2nd Round Pick and a 2024 5th Round Pick.
A second-round pick in the 2016 NHL entry draft, Greenway's development stalled after a 12-goal rookie campaign in the 2018-19 season. He has just two goals and five assists in 45 games this season, though he's been limited to an ATOI of 13:18. He gets a welcomed change of scenery with the Sabres.
Kesselring will make his NHL debut on Friday.
Kesselring has 13 goals, nine assists, 40 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 49 games with the Bakersfield Condors (AHL) and was dealt to the Edmonton Oilers alongside a 2023 3rd Round Pick for Nick Bjugstad (50% salary retention) earlier this week. He will make both his Coyotes' and NHL debut Friday.
Goalie Start
Luukkonen will start Thursday vs. Boston.
Luukkonen allowed four goals on 30 shots (.867 SV%) but still picked up his second win in three games as he beat Washington last start. The 23-year-old has a great record despite mediocre counting stats, as shown by his 15-8-2 record, 3.57 GAA and.893 SV%. He takes on the Goliath that is the Boston Bruins, who are in the midst of a nine-game winning streak and are third in the NHL in goals per game (3.73).
The Sabres have placed Rasmus Dahlin on IR.
Dahlin was already not expected to be available for Saturday's game, so moving him to IR opens up a roster spot for Riley Stillman to be added to the active roster.
