BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Sabres will hit the ice Monday night for the team's first game since January 31 due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.

Monday, Jake McCabe, Brandon Montour and Tobias Rieder returned from the COVID protocol. The team says they will be game-time decisions for Monday night's matchup against the New York Islanders.
Four Sabres remain in the NHL's COVID protocol: Dylan Cozens, Curtis Lazar, Casey Mittlestadt, Rasmus Ristolainen.
