GDT: Amerks @ Sens 7 PM ET - TV: Sabres.com, ESPN+? Radio: WGR550

[Chainshot]

Sens seem to have sealed off the PP1 carry in play.

 

[Ace]

Jobst has spent the whole game getting off open looks from the right spot and getting stonewalled by Linus

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Last 2 PPs were rough..

 

[Chainshot]

Last 2 PPs were rough..

Feel like the Sens have at least adjusted there.

 

[Ace]

I think Ullmark just laughed and thanked the Sens bench for getting him into midseason form

 

[Chainshot]

Tokarski in, lets see what he's got.

 

[old kummelweck]

ticker wearing a sabres mask

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

I don't think I've ever seen a goalie literally wearing the logo of his opponent.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Ullmark still smiling at the bench, seems noone told him from now on every game will be like this.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Yup. They figured out to just clog the neutral zone since the Sabres were dropping to the puck back to a streaking forward every time

 

[Chainshot]

Helenius really puts himself into it physically.

 

[Ace]

Nice movement and active sticks in the d zone just gave Ottawa nowhere to go

David Ayres

Seems like the kid really knows how to absorb hits.. took to big ones and just bounced right off the boards

 

[Zman5778]

That trip was the very definition of a good penalty. Laaouan was in clean on Ticker.

 

[Ace]

After the last couple PPs for Buffalo you trip that man every time

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Another one. Komarov has stuck out to me. Good skating, strong along the boards. Can he play in Roch yet?

He certainly can. We'll see if he does. Rochester is LOADED with good D. I could possibly see him getting some Jacksonville time just to keep him playing lots of minutes.

 

[Ace]

I bet they keep 8 D in Buffalo which will ease up a spot. Don’t see the point in having Kulich sit in the pressbox when he can play top minutes in Roch and Rousek hasn’t earned it. If he wasn’t from Czechia I’d bet he’d be playing in the game.

Even with 8 D in Buffalo, there's: Prow, Metsa, Poolman, Rathbone and Novikov.

Poolman has 200+ AHL games, so he's likely a big part of the plan.
Rathbone has 100+ AHL games and a handful of NHL Games, so he's likely in
Prow has ~300 AHL games, so he's likely in.
Metsa and Novikov aren't likely sitting.
Clague is likely being sent down, so he's in.

That's 6.

So is it better to have Komarov in Jacksonville playing big minutes or practicing/playing sporadically in Rochester?

Where do they sit with the veteran limits though

 

[Perry Tegula]

Johnson too.
Curious why he isn't in tonight.

 

[Zman5778]

Johnson too.

Totally forgot about him. So that's 7 guys who are likely in the AHL. He's probably just getting a rest.

 

[Chainshot]

Johnson too.

Figure they are looking at everyone.

I don't see Komarov going down to Jax. He'll be in Rochester.

 

[Tatanka]

Shoot that Konsta
