The Sabres are getting close to getting a couple of players back in the lineup. Team reporter Justin Alpert relays that winger Jordan Greenway and defenseman Mattias Samuelsson both took part in practice today in regular (contact) jerseys after previously being limited to non-contact drills. Greenway has been out for nearly three weeks due to a middle-body injury and has three goals and three assists through 16 games so far. As for Samuelsson, he last played nearly four weeks ago due to a lower-body issue. It has been a struggle for him this season as his playing time is down by more than four minutes a night while also briefly spending time as a healthy scratch. Both players probably aren’t going to be ready for Saturday’s game versus Utah but they should be back soon after that.
