The Buffalo Sabres will likely welcome back three players but will be without their top center when they visit the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. Alex Tuch, Eric Comrie and Zach Benson are each expected to be back against Winnipeg while Tage Thompson will miss his first game with an upper-body injury sustained Tuesday after blocking a shot in a loss to the Boston Bruins. Thompson is week to week and his absence "should be less than" two months, coach Don Granato said. Dylan Cozens was elevated into the No. 1 spot at practice Thursday, with Tuch and Jeff Skinner on his wings. We actually like the under in this spot as we think both teams will have trouble finding the back of the net. The Sabres have been trending under all year, going 5-10 O/U. The under is 4-1 in Sabres last 5 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game, and 7-0-1 in the last 8 meetings head to head. Let's roll with the under here.
