‘The six-foot, 191 pound MacArthur is expected to wear number 41.’

'MacArthur leads the Amerks in points this season with 34 in 26 games. He was a third round pick of the Sabres back in 2003.'

‘The latest experiment to find dependable sidekicks for Drury continues tonight when the Sabres host the Montreal Canadiens. The Sabres co-captain will center left wing Paul Gaustad and right wing Ales Kotalik for just the second time. They were put together for Saturday’s game against Ottawa because the trio of Drury, Kotalik and Jiri Novotny failed to click.’

‘The Buffalo Sabres defenseman had a metal plate inserted in his left arm, and he’ll be wearing a brace on top of that for further protection. “It’s supposed to be stronger,” Tallinder said Monday. “It could happen [again], but it shouldn’t.”‘

‘The Sabres are 12-0-1 on Tuesdays the past two seasons, including 3-0 this year.’

‘One player who is looking forward to the matchup is Predators forward J.P. Dumont, who spent five seasons with the Sabres before Buffalo walked away from his arbitration award last summer. That made Dumont a free agent and Nashville signed him shortly thereafter.’
