Zach Benson will be discharged today but won’t play tomorrow. Ruff anticipates Owen Power making the trip to Boston and being available.

Per Lindy Ruff, Josh Norris is being evaluated. The #Sabres will know more later today. It’s a different injury than his last one, an oblique problem. He’s not going to play tomorrow.
