Pilut to join lineup against Jets
Lawrence Pilut will be in the lineup when the Buffalo Sabres conclude their four-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets tonight at Bell MTS Place.
Pilut will step in for Colin Miller, who will be scratched on defense. Carter Hutton - owner of a .973 save percentage in his last five appearances against Winnipeg - will start in net.
Pilut last played for Buffalo during a 3-2 loss to Anaheim on Feb. 9. He was assigned to Rochester five days later and appeared in six games with the Amerks before rejoining the Sabres on Feb. 27.
"[Pilut is] coming back more focused on the individual skillset that he needs to bring into our group here today, especially his game away from the puck defensively," Krueger said. "We find him extremely strong in being able to read the game and his first pass and initiating our offense is something we'd like to see from him here today."
Pilut has appeared in 11 games with the Sabres this season, averaging 16:08 of ice time. He has 23 points (6+17) in 37 games with the Amerks.
The Sabres will keep the same forward lines from their game in Arizona on Saturday, with Victor Olofsson ready to play despite leaving that game in the second period.
Krueger said earlier in the week that while the lines centered by Jack Eichel and Johan Larsson had established clear identities, the team was searching for consistency in its other two trios. He felt a step toward that in the last two games as newcomers Dominik Kahun and Wayne Simmonds helped create goals for Marcus Johansson and Jeff Skinner, respectively.
"There is some synergy evolving in the lines, so we want to leave them together," Krueger said.
Here's how the Sabres lined up at practice yesterday.
68 Victor Olofsson - 9 Jack Eichel - 23 Sam Reinhart
28 Zemgus Girgensons - 22 Johan Larsson - 21 Kyle Okposo
53 Jeff Skinner - 27 Curtis Lazar - 17 Wayne Simmonds
13 Jimmy Vesey - 90 Marcus Johansson - 95 Dominik Kahun
24 Lawrence Pilut - 55 Rasmus Ristolainen
26 Rasmus Dahlin - 62 Brandon Montour
19 Jake McCabe - 10 Henri Jokiharju

mmmm... Save percentage vs a specific team, on a sample size of 5 games over...what appears to be about 4 years? That's the stuff right there.

"Eric Cartman?"
The heck with a 0.973 save %,. Game tonight is on Tuesday, after dark, so he could be going for a Royal Fizbin... the odds of which are astronomical.

WPJ fans can ‘boo’ all they want, Reinhart Cleary made contact with the puck first. It wasn’t a penalty.
