Lindy Ruff didn't have an update on Josh Norris, who left the game late in the third.

Zach Benson was admitted to the hospital after the injury from taking a puck to the face yesterday resulted in something unexpected. Ruff expects him to be discharged tomorrow.

Owen Power and Zach Benson are not on the ice for warmup. Per the Sabres, Power is day to day because of illness and Benson is day to day after taking the puck to the face yesterday.
