(WGR 550) - The Sabres open the preseason tonight in Columbus. Jack Eichel and Rasmus Dahlin are not in the lineup, so there’s a chance they’ll play at home on Tuesday against Pittsburgh. Phil Housley would not say to reporters.

Tonight’s lineup features only a few guys you can expect on this year’s team. My thanks to Jourdon LaBarber for tonight’s projected lineup,

41 Olofsson - 22 Larsson - 65 O’Regan

92 Nylander - 10 Berglund - 72 Thompson

20 Wilson - 51 Criscuolo - 52 Oglevie

71 Rodrigues - 42 Malone - 64 Randell

45 Guhle - 8 Nelson

82 Beaulieu - 5 Tennyson

44 Hickey - 27 Fedun

61 Stephens

35 Ullmark

34 Johansson

Join me and Brian Koziol at 7:00 and then Dan Dunleavy, Rob Ray and Pat Malacaro will be live in Columbus for the game.
