C. Mittelstadt - F

BUF

Casey Mittelstadt will be in the lineup for Sunday's match against Washington.

Mittlestadt will make his season debut after he was recalled from the taxi squad Sunday morning. The Sabres assigned Dylan Cozens to the taxi squad in a corresponding move. "Just in the plan," Sabres coach Ralph Krueger said. "We had mentioned preseason that we need to keep the taxi squad players active and we need to watch the load on some of the younger players, and Dylan is one of them. So, he has an opportunity to take a breath and watch the game. Casey has been outstanding in his work so far since the first of January. We need to get him involved too so we get a read. So, it's a combination of events."

K. Okposo - F

BUF

Buffalo has activated Kyle Okposo from injured reserve.

Okposo should be good to go for Sunday's match against Washington after missing the first five games of the year due to a lower-body injury. He had nine goals and 19 points in 52 games last season.

D. Cozens - F

BUF

Dylan Cozens has been loaned to Buffalo's taxi squad.

Cozens scored his first NHL goal on Friday against Washington, but it looks like he won't play in Sunday's rematch. The Sabres have recalled Casey Mittelstadt from the taxi squad and taken Kyle Okposo off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's afternoon contest. Cozens has one goal and one assist in five games this season and should be back in the lineup soon.
