Johansson missed Monday's game vs. the Ducks but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. Johansson, who has 22 points (6G / 16A) in 48 games this season, will start on the second line with Curtis Lazar and Conor Sheary and return to his spot on the top-PP unit.

Johansson will come out of the Sabres lineup on Sunday. With the veteran winger out, the Sabres will dress seven defensemen.

Following the trade of Jack Campbell to the Maple Leafs, Petersen makes his return to the NHL. Petersen appeared in 11 NHL games last year, going 5-4-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .924 SV%. He hasn't had the same level of success in the AHL this year, going 17-15-4 with a 3.43 GAA and .906 SV%. Tonight he'll make his season debut vs. a Devils team that is on a five-game point streak, going 2-0-3 over that span.

Following the trade of Jack Campbell to the Maple Leafs, Petersen was recalled to be the Kings' new No.2 netminder. The 25-year-old is a former fifth-round pick (2013) who has gone 17-15-4 with a 3.43 GAA and .906 SV% in 37 AHL games this season. In a brief run with the Kings last year, Petersen was 5-4-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .924 SV%.


Even with Buffalo going with seven defensemen on Tuesday, Bogosian will be the odd man out. He played in the final two games before their bye week but will sit as a healthy scratch for the third time in six games when the Sabres host the Senators. Colin Miller takes his place in the lineup.

Trenin played in seven games before the bye week but was a healthy scratch in the last game. The 23-year-old has six points (2G / 4A) in 13 games with the Predators this season.

Trenin has appeared in seven straight games, picking up one goal and three assists but heads back to the AHL, where he has 26 points (14G / 12A) in 20 games this season. Austin Watson will likely replace him on Saturday.

Bogosian was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will draw in as a seventh defenseman on Sunday. Bogosian will replace Jimmy Vesey.

Vesey was promoted to the top line on Saturday but will come out of the lineup in Detroit. The Sabres will go back to 11 forwards and seven defensemen, re-inserting Zach Bogosian into the lineup.
