Status report
Mammoth coach Andre Tourigny said there won’t be any lineup changes from their 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. … Zucker was placed on injured reserve; Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said the forward was “probably worse today than he was yesterday.” Ostlund was recalled from Rochester of the American Hockey League. … Kozak participated in an optional morning skate, his first time skating with Buffalo since he was injured Oct. 24 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ruff said the forward could possibly return Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. … Kulich, a forward, was not on the ice for the morning skate after missing practice Monday. He is doubtful for Thursday.
