The Buffalo Sabres have a tough week ahead of them with the Tampa Bay Lightning in town tomorrow night. They’ll end the week with a home and home series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Here are a few notes reported from practice today:
- Jacob Josefson will miss 4 to 6 weeks after re-injuring his ankle.
- Seth Griffith cleared waivers and was assigned to Rochester.
- Zach Bogosian practiced again today. Phil Housley said the defender is a game-time decision tomorrow to make his season debut.
- Justin Bailey is out in Rochester with a lower-body injury according to Housley./
Bailey has been out in Rochester with a lower body injury. Housley said they’ll decide tomorrow if they’ll make a call-up from Rochester.

- The Sabres will decide tomorrow if they want to call up a forward with only 12 healthy currently on the roster. The corresponding move would likely be sending a defenseman down with nine on the roster right now.
- Housley made some changes to the power play units:/
– PP 1: Eichel-Kane-Reinhart-Antipin-Beaulieu
– PP 2: O’Reilly-Okposo-Pominville-Ristolainen-Moulson
