No Pominville at morning skate; Kassian skating on line with Vanek & Roy - ^ks
Pominville did not skate this morning but coach Lindy Ruff is confident he will play tonight. In his first year as team captain, the Repentigny, Quebec native has 12 goals and 39 points through 38 games. Expect him to play on the top line and top PP unit.
Jason Pominville's third goal in two games put Buffalo ahead 2-1 in the final period.
Only Phil Kessel and Kris Versteeg have been more productive RW in fantasy hockey. The team's newly appointed captain has shown no signs of slowing down.
Jason Pominville and Derek Roy both said they are 100 percent physically and ready to start full workouts with the team on Saturday.
Prior to last season, Pominville was one of the healthiest skaters in hockey. Following two unpreventable injuries, Pominville should be able to re-establish himself on a stronger Sabres team. Expect another 20+ goal season from the dependable winger.
As far as if he'll be able to skate in training camp in a week he said, "No, I don't see why there would be any issue. I have to be cleared by the doctors, but I think it's just a formality. I feel fine, I can do everything I used to be able to do whether it's in the gym or outside in my workouts I feel good."
