Sabres Center Jiri Kulich Out with Illness, Noah Ostlund Called Up

Buffalo Sabres center Jiri Kulich is currently out of the lineup due to illness. His absence, alongside winger Jason Zucker, led to the recall of center Noah Ostlund to bolster the team's roster. Kulich's return timeline is pending as the team deals with a short-handed situation and continues to face challenges, including a recent 2-1 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth. The Sabres are hoping for his swift recovery to help improve their standing in the tightly compacted Eastern Conference.
