Fans had hoped that Jordan Greenway would be fit to start against the New Jersey Devils, but the latest news suggests that he is not ready for the game yet. Jordan Greenway has been out of action since March 19 due to an upper-body injury.

"Don Granato said Eric Comrie is expected to be available to play this weekend. Jordan Greenway needs more time to recover from an upper-body injury, which occurred in the loss to Boston" - @LLysowski

The 26-year-old has played 53 games this season, averaging 13 minutes on the ice. His contribution has been minimal, with only three goals and five assists to his credit.

How has Jordan Greenway's Buffalo Sabres performed this season?

Buffalo Sabres v Washington Capitals.

The Buffalo Sabres have been inconsistent this season and are sixth in the Atlantic Division with 72 points. They are seven points behind the playoffs spot.

The Sabres have played brilliantly on the offense and scored 250 goals in 70 games this season. The contribution of 103 goals from Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner, and Alex Tuch has steered the offense and will have a crucial role to play in the upcoming games.

On the defensive front, the Sabres have failed to perform their duties and conceded 3.73 goals per game on average. The goaltenders have not done enough and have let the team down.

What's next for the Buffalo Sabres?

The Buffalo Sabres are going through a difficult phase and have lost eight of their last ten games. The offense, along with the defense lately, has been poor.

Given that the point difference between them and the fourth-placed Florida Panthers is surmountable, the Sabres will look to make the most of the upcoming games. The only problem for them will be the inconsistency within the setup and the increasing list of injuries, which can hamper their season prospects.

What to expect from the Sabres vs. Devils game?

Even though both teams lost their last game, the Devils have done better in their previous five games. Also, they have a better team setup that adds to the comforting strength coming into the game.

In comparison, the Sabres are going through a poor run and will be under pressure in this contest. Though they have not played well on home ice lately with the season on the line, we can expect the Sabres to perform better this time. Do watch out for this one as things unfold later in the day.
