    Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Game-time decision versus Preds
    1h ago

Prior to getting sick, the 22-year-old center was stuck in a nine-game pointless streak dating back to Dec. 7 versus Utah. Kozak will need to be activated off injured reserve before he can rejoin the lineup, which could mean a demotion to the minors for Isak Rosen.

Aho's tally in the third period was his first point since missing Carolina's contest Jan. 30 with an illness.

Aho is off the pace to best his career-high of 89 points from a year ago but should challenge for 70-80 points this season.
