Saros has gone 9-1-0 with a 1.59 GAA and .945 SV% in 10 starts with Milwaukee this season. He was excellent in his only NHL start and now return to Nashville to serve as Pekka Rinne’s backup.
O’Reilly missed the last five games with an oblique injury, but will return tonight vs. the Red Wings. O’Reilly will centre the Sabres top line and power-play unit and comes in as the Sabres point-per-game leader with nine points (4G / 5A) in 13 games.

Saros was recalled from Milwaukee and was expected to replace Marek Mazanec as the Predators’ backup, but that wasn’t the case. He backed up Pekka Rinne for a few games, before Mazanec came back up and actually got the start while Rinne was out. With Rinne back for Thursday’s game, Saros is the goalie who heads back to Milwaukee.
Stamkos left Tuesday’s game after getting twisted up on the sideboards. Stamkos was unable to put any weight on his leg as he left the ice and the Lightning confirmed the concern that it was a series injury. Stamkos has had a tough time with serious injuries during the last few years. He will undergo surgery for a lateral meniscus tear, but there is no timetable for his return.
O’Reilly has missed the last two games and it looks like he will miss a third straight game on Thursday. O’Reilly is listed as questionable, so monitor his status during the morning skate.
Stamkos appeared to twist his knee in the first period of the Lightning's win in Detroit on Tuesday. Stamkos was unable to put any weight on his right leg as he left the ice and headed down the tunnel. Stamkos did not return to the game and returning to Tampa Bay for further evaluation suggests the injury could force him to miss some time.
O’Reilly missed Wednesday’s game vs. the Senators, but was on the ice for the gameday skate and it looks like he will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Devils. O’Reilly has eight points (4G / 4A) in 12 games this season.

O’Reilly was not on the ice for the Sabres’ morning skate and is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game vs. the Senators. With O’Reilly taking the morning off, Hudson Fasching skated in his spot, but the lines will likely be shuffled if O’Reilly can’t go. Monitor his status when the Sabres’ hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 p.m. ET.
