Ralph Krueger was very strange on Jack Eichel: “It was something that evolved in warm-ups, so we‘ll just look at the situation and get back to you tomorrow on that. … Let’s not speak about the specifics right now. We’ll fill you in once we’ve assessed the situation.”

Eichel was on a 17-game point streak and has 50 points in 35 games for the Sabres this season. Conor Sheary replaced the 23-year-old in the lineup.
