At one point in Saturday’s game, Dan Bylsma thought about putting Zemgus Girgensons at center between Ryan O’Reilly and Tyler Ennis.
But Bylsma was too busy juggling other line combinations to send out that particular trio.
After the game, Bylsma talked with O’Reilly and Sunday morning that line emerged as the Sabres practiced with another round of lines, searching for some offensive chemistry to get out of their 0-2 start when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets at 3 p.m. Monday.
“I talked about it a little with Ryan post game and he’s played a fair amount on the wing the past couple of years and he’s open to it,” Bylsma said.
