Henri Jokiharju - Set to return Sunday Jokiharju (illness) is expected to return to the lineup Sunday against Chicago, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Impact Jokiharju sat out the past two games due to an illness. He has produced seven points, 18 shots on goal, 22 blocked shots and 12 hits in 15 games this season. He should be back alongside Owen Power for Sunday's contest.

Zach Benson - Nabs helper in return Benson logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Impact Benson saw 14:43 of ice time in a second-line role in his return from a lower-body injury that cost him seven contests. The helper was his first point since a two-assist game Oct. 14 versus the Islanders. The 18-year-old has three helpers, seven shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating through seven outings. Benson has two more games to make a strong impression before the Sabres have to decide if he's going back to WHL Wenatchee or staying in the NHL with the first year of his entry-level contract active.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rasmus Dahlin - Garners helper Friday Dahlin logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Impact Dahlin ended a three-game point drought with the helper. He's gotten on the scoresheet in just three of eight games in November, and his last multi-point effort was Oct. 19. The 23-year-old defenseman has a still-solid 12 points through 17 outings, and he's added 37 shots on net, 32 hits, 31 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating. Dahlin posted 73 points in 78 contests a season ago, so it's fair for fantasy managers to expect a little more.

JJ Peterka - Pots goal in loss Peterka scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Impact Peterka has enjoyed a productive November with three goals and five assists over eight games. The 21-year-old winger tallied in the third period Friday, but the Sabres couldn't find an equalizer. He's up to seven goals, 12 points, 43 shots on net, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating through 17 contests overall. Peterka continues to provide solid scoring-only production from a second-line role, and he may get a boost in power-play time while Tage Thompson (upper body) is out.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Tuch - Nets goal in return Tuch scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Impact Tuch returned from a three-game absence with an upper-body injury and led all Sabres forwards with 20:29 of ice time. The 27-year-old has scored four times over his last three games, and he'll be asked to carry more of the scoring load with Tage Thompson (upper body) on injured reserve with a week-to-week status. Tuch is up to 11 points, 33 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 14 appearances. He should be a fixture on the top line going forward.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Comrie - Unimpressive in return Comrie allowed three goals on 18 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
Impact Comrie missed three weeks with a lower-body injury, but his return to the crease was uninspiring. This was his fourth appearance of the campaign, and he's yielded nine goals on 88 shots in those outings. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen did alright when Comrie and Devon Levi were both injured, but the Sabres' goaltending usage figures to be tough to predict now that all three are healthy.

Tage Thompson - Lands on injured reserve Thompson (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Thompson's demotion shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was labeled week-to-week by coach Don Granato. With both Eric Comrie and Zach Benson coming off IR, the Sabres needed the free up a roster spot. The Arizona native is slightly off his pace from last season when he racked up 94 points, including 47 goals, in 78 games.
NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Henri Jokiharju - Out Friday Jokiharju (illness) participated in Friday's practice, but he's still expected to miss the evening's game versus Winnipeg.
Impact Jokiharju practicing is an indication that he's close to returning, so it wouldn't be surprising if he plays Sunday against Chicago. He has two goals and seven points in 15 outings this year. When Jokiharju is ready to play, Ryan Johnson might lose his spot in the lineup.
NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Greenway - Expected back Friday Greenway (undisclosed) is slated to play against the Jets on Friday.
Impact Greenway was dealing with some soreness coming out of Tuesday's matchup with the Bruins but appears to be no worse for the wear. The New York native has managed just one goal in his last 14 contests in which he also recorded four assists, 18 shots and 20 hits. The winger figures to slot into a third-line role heading into Friday's matchup.
NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Comrie was taken off injured reserve Friday. He last played Oct. 27 in New Jersey. giving up two goals on 18 shots before he was injured.

Zach Benson - Back in lineup Friday Benson (lower body) was taken off injured reserve and is expected to play Friday in Winnipeg, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.
Impact This will be Benson's seventh game of the season. Buffalo coach Don Granato wants to see how productive he can be over the next three games before deciding whether to burn a year on his entry-level contract, or to send him back to the WHL, before his 10th game. Benson has two assists thus far. He will replace Lukas Rousek on the roster with Rousek becoming the 13th forward.
