The Buffalo Sabres will once again dress a nearly NHL-ready roster as preseason action continues on Monday evening. It’s an early puck drop from KeyBank Center, set for 5:09 p.m. The game was moved up a few hours due to the Buffalo Bills’ Monday Night Football game. Tonight’s game will be broadcast on Sabres.com and on WWKB 1520AM radio. (WGR550 will have the Bills game.)

The Sabres will hold a moment of silence ahead of Monday’s game in memory of the Gaudreau brothers.

Here is the expected Sabres roster:

Forwards: Nicolas Aube-Kubel, Zach Benson, Dylan Cozens, Jordan Greenway, Peyton Krebs, Sam Lafferty, Beck Malenstyn, Ryan McLeod, JJ Peterka, Jack Quinn, Tage Thompson, Jason Zucker

Defense: Bowen Byram, Connor Clifton, Dennis Gilbert, Henri Jokiharju, Owen Power, Mattias Samuelsson

Goalies: Devon Levi, Felix Sandstrom

And here’s the expected Blue Jackets roster, largely consisting of AHL players & prospects:

Forwards: Cole Sillinger, Dmitri Voronkov, Dylan Gambrell, Adam Fantilli, Mathieu Olivier, Cameron Butler, Hunter McKown, Luca Pinelli, Trey Fix-Wolansky, Luca Del Bel Belluz, Mikael Pyyhtia, Tyler Peddle

Defense: Jack Johnson, Jordan Harris, David Jiricek. Charlie Elick, Corson Ceulemans, Stanislav Svozil

Goalies: Evan Gardner, Jet Greaves
