Tyson Jost - Placed on waivers Thursday The Sabres placed Jost on waivers Thursday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Jost had been a healthy scratch in two of his previous three games. He played Wednesday versus Boston, as Tage Thompson was a late scratch due to personal reasons. Jost has two goals and four points in 28 games this season. Look for Jost to be sent to AHL Rochester, should he pass through waivers.

Tage Thompson - Might return Saturday Thompson (personal) could rejoin the team ahead of Saturday's clash with Columbus, per Joe Yerdon of the Bleacher Report.

Impact Thompson looks set to miss just one game as a result of his personal absence, though he hasn't been officially activated off non-roster injured reserve. If he does suit up Saturday, Thompson figures to reclaim his first-line role in addition to linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Tage Thompson - Placed on non-roster reserve The Sabres put Thompson (personal) on non-roster reserve Thursday.

Impact Thompson was a late scratch Wednesday. He was replaced in the lineup by Tyson Jost but Casey Mittelstadt eventually took his place on the top line between Alex Tuch and Jeff Skinner. Thompson has nine goals and 19 points in 26 games this season, a far cry from last season when he managed 47 goals and 94 points in 78 contests.

Devon Levi - Buried by Boston power play Levi stopped 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Boston's final three goals all came on the power play, and Levi had little chance on any of them -- Charlie Coyle's second tally of the night even deflected in off Erik Johnson's skate. It's Levi's first regulation loss since Nov. 14, and the 22-year-old netminder has put together a solid December with a 2.77 GAA and .906 save percentage while going 4-1-1 over seven appearances.

Impact Thompson's absence was announced just before puck drop. Tyson Jost will enter the lineup in place of Thompson. It's unclear if the 26-year-old will be available for Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets.

Devon Levi - Gets starting nod against Bruins Levi will be between the home pipes versus Boston on Wednesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Levi hasn't suffered a regulation defeat in his last eight appearances, posting a 4-0-2 record and 2.88 GAA, though he did get the hook once over that stretch. Still, the youngster appears to have taken control of the starting job ahead of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for the time being.

Zemgus Girgensons - Still out Wednesday Girgensons (lower body) will not be in the lineup against Boston on Wednesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Girgensons was reportedly close to getting into the lineup before the Christmas break, so it shouldn't be too long before the Latvian center is cleared to play. Even once the 29-year-old Girgensons is given the green light, he figures to slot into a bottom-six role and will be hard-pressed to get over the 20-point mark after missing that threshold in each of the last seven seasons.

Erik Johnson - Gets early exit Saturday Johnson racked up 27 PIM, including a game misconduct, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact Johnson was assessed four penalties for 27 minutes at the 12:48 mark of the second period following an altercation with New York forward Will Cuylle. The 35-year-old defender only had two PIM in 32 outings this season going into Saturday's contest. Johnson has two goals, 29 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 40 hits and a plus-3 rating through 33 games this campaign.
