Matthews (shoulder) will not play on Wednesday.

Matthews was once again on the ice on Monday, but he has already been ruled out for Wednesday’s game vs. Dallas. However, head coach Mike Babcock said that he could “become an option to get back in at some point after that.” If he isn’t playing Wednesday vs. the Stars it seems unlikely that he will play in Buffalo on Thursday, but Saturday’s game vs. Montreal seems like a possibility.

Dahlstrom has been recalled from Rockford (AHL) and is expected to make his NHL debut on Saturday.

Dahlstrom, 23, was a second round pick (No.51 overall) in 2013 and has earned his first NHL call-up after picking up three goals and 20 assists (23 points) in 47 games with the IceHogs this season. Dahlstrom is expected to replace Michal Kempny and skate with Connor Murphy.

McCabe underwent surgery on his thumb and will miss 3-4 weeks.

McCabe was hurt against Anaheim and did not return on Tuesday and will miss at least three games after undergoing thumb surgery this week. There’s no word how McCabe suffered the injury, but he recorded three blocked shots on Tuesday, so you have to think one of those shots did the damage.
