Jeff Skinner says he doesn’t want to be traded by Sabres after benching

‘“The goal is not to punish anybody or to cause headlines that you can all focus on,” said Krueger. “It’s more the goal of getting the most of the Buffalo Sabres and the group that we have. … And it’s about different ways of growing people in different positions and that’s what this is about, is working together with Jeff to make him a better Jeff Skinner for the game today. … I feel that he’s embraced it and that he’ll come out of it a better player.”’

Sabres’ Jack Eichel ‘day to day;’ goalie Linus Ullmark out vs. Flyers

‘Ullmark, 27, underwent testing Friday to determine the severity of the lower-body injury that forced him to miss the final two periods of the 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey. He was evaluated by a trainer on the ice after making a highlight-reel glove save on Devils center Nico Hischier.’

The Editorial Board: Sabres haven’t been much to look at, but some energy from fans might help

‘Having fans in the building could provide a jolt of energy that the club badly needs.’

Jeff Skinner could be nearing return, wants to stay with Sabres

‘Watching three contests and getting dumped to the taxi squad for a day might’ve done lasting damaged to the player-coach relationship. Still, Skinner doesn’t want to be traded.’

Jack Eichel questionable for weekend; Sabres could have reinforcements

‘Goalie Carter Hutton will likely start Saturday afternoon’s game. Jonas Johansson should dress as his backup. Taxi-squad goalie Dustin Tokarski also practiced today.’

‘In other words, how do you find a solution to a $9-million problem?’

Sabres injuries mount; Skinner’s status remains uncertain

‘Skinner skated on the Sabres’ fourth line in practice Friday, which was a promotion after he worked out with the team’s taxi squad members a day earlier. Krueger would only say Skinner would be available to play Saturday.’

Skinner may return to Sabres lineup on Saturday

‘“The best way to cope with this, I take it a day at a time. For me, I’d like to be out there battling with my teammates, but today is a new day and you try to move forward and keep getting better.”’

Skinner adamant he wants to remain with Sabres despite recent struggles

‘”The most important thing is to keep moving forward and having a positive attitude, and working hard while trying to get better,” Skinner said. “I’ve watched a lot of hockey games and played in a lot of hockey games, obviously, and I don’t think you can learn anything extra by not being out there. But obviously, this situation is maybe not that straightforward in the fact that lessons being learned is maybe more of a vague concept.”‘
