Zemgus Girgensons hasn’t created much offense this season but some things clicked for a few games when he was with Jack Eichel. The Buffalo Sabres are expected to go back to that combination when they play the New York Rangers on Monday in Madison Square Garden.
Girgensons, who has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, skated fully at practice Sunday in HarborCenter and declared himself ready to go.
