1. How will Anders Nilsson look in his Sabres debut?
Robin Lehner is out sick, so Anders Nilsson gets the call tonight with Linus Ullmark serving as his backup. Nilsson played well in the preseason after a horrid campaign last year, and the Sabres haven’t shown through for games that they can score enough to overcome poor goaltending, so Nilsson will need to be strong tonight against one of the highest scoring teams in the league thus far.
2. Will Sam Reinhart’s move back to center help spark the offense?
Reinhart moves back to his natural position tonight, centering a line between Zemgus Girgensons and Tyler Ennis.
