Tuch was acquired from the Golden Knight in the Jack Eichel trade and is set to make his Sabres debut vs. the Blue Jackets. Tuch, who scored 18 goals with 15 assists (33 points) in 55 games a season ago, is expected to skate on a line with Dylan Cozens.





Chychrun suffered an upper-body on Friday and will not play this week. Cam Dineen replaced him on Saturday and should remain in the lineup this week.





Strome was a healthy scratch on Thursday but will replace Henrik Borgstrom (illness) in the lineup on Saturday. Strome, who has two goals and three assists in 16 games this season, will centre a line with Dominik Kubalik and Philipp Kurashev.

With Brock Nelson and Casey Cizikas returning to the lineup, someone has to sit. Head coach Barry Trotz said Beauviller will serve as the healthy scratch and added that "others can take it as a message." Beauvillier has zero points in his last 13 games.


Strome picked up one goal and one assist in his last two games but will come back out of the lineup on Thursday. Philipp Kurashev will draw back into the lineup to replace Strome.


MacDonald will replace Jaycob Megna in the lineup and may take shifts at both forward and defence. MacDonald has no points and a minus-1 rating in four games this season.

Sandin's MRI revealed no structural damage, so he won't be out as long as originally feared. Head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters on Monday that the young blueline is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks.

Sandin left Saturday's game vs. the Jets after a knee-on-knee collision with Neal Pionk. The Jets' defenseman was suspended for two games for the play but it looks like Sandin could miss an extended period of time. The Maple Leafs recalled Alex Biega and Kristiāns Rubīns from the AHL to help replace Sandin.
