Sabres forward Jiri Kulich, who will likely play all four exhibition contests, has spent some of training camp skating down the lineup as a winger.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff doesn’t have a more exact recovery time for Mattias Samuelsson, who usually skates alongside Rasmus Dahlin on the top defense pair.

Defenseman Olen Zellweger, the Sabres’ biggest offseason acquisition, was playing his first game with his new team.
