Two Questions

1. How will the Sabres defensemen perform with the return of Kulikov and Gorges?

The Sabres get some healthy bodies back on the blue line tonight with the return from injury of Dmitry Kulikov and Josh Gorges. Kulikov will be paired on the second unit with Cody Franson, while Gorges mercifully will be partnered with Justin Falk on the third pairing, leaving Ristolainen and McCabe as the top dogs.
