Lineup notes (updated 1:40 p.m.)
The Sabres will start with the same lineup from their Game 3 win. Alex Lyon starts in net again, while Josh Norris will miss a second straight game with his undisclosed injury.
Buffalo will see some changes to its power-play units, namely with Noah Ostlund joining the first group on the right flank, as seen in Saturday’s practice:
PP1
Zucker
Thompson – Tuch – Ostlund
Dahlin
PP2
Doan
Quinn – Benson – McLeod
Byram
The Sabres are 0-for-14 on the power play to start the series but hope to get a boost from Ostlund, who delivered a highlight-reel assist in his playoff debut in Game 3.
