Bjornfot missed the last two games but is "good to go" for Friday's game in Colorado. Bjornfot has picked up two assists, nine shots and 10 PIMS in 11 games this season.

Bennett will sit with Brett Ritchie drawing back into the lineup on Thursday. Bennett has scored just one goal with no assists in his last nine games.

Gudas was a late scratch from Thursday's game but will draw right back into the lineup on Saturday. Gudas is second in the league in hits and brings value in banger leagues but provides very little in the way of offence.

Forsling was forced to leave Wednesday's game in the second period and did not return. Head coach Joel Quenneville said that they will "find out more in the morning," but it seems unlikely that he will be available on the tail-end of a back-to-back.

Markstrom will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury, which likely means that David Rittich will face the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Rittich posted a 34-save shutout on Monday, so expect him to get all of the starts until Markstrom can re-join the team.

Forsling has been out since January 28th but will suit up against his former team on Wednesday. Forsling, who will most likely replace Noah Juulsen, was held pointless in his first three games of the season.

Reinhart was missing from the Sabres' morning skate due to a minor injury and is listed as a game-time decision vs. the Islanders. Rasmus Asplund skated in Reinhart's spot, so look for him to play if he's out.
