Bulletin: Rivet out
Sabres spokesman Mike Gilbert just announced that Craig Rivet is out of the lineup tonight with an upper-body injury. So that means Nathan Paetsch will be in. Thinking Rivet's issue might be knee-related, I asked Gilbert to repeat the update and he said it was definitely upper body and not related to the knee.
Rivet played 20:48 Saturday in Montreal and was on the ice as normal for today's morning skate so this is a surprise. Have to see what Lindy Ruff has to say in the postgame news conference.
