The Buffalo Sabres bounced back from a off a 7-3 loss to the Red Wings in Detroit on Wednesday with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday afternoon, but the loss of another forward has required the club to recall forwards Isak Rosen and Brett Murray prior to their four-game road trip beginning in Boston on Monday.

Center Jiri Kulich was checked by Golden Knights forward Brett Howden midway through the second period. Peyton Krebs sprung to his teammate’s defense, dropping the gloves with Howden, but received an instigating minor and misconduct. Kulich did not return to the game and on Sunday, head coach Lindy Ruff said that Kulich is in concussion protocol.

“Kulich is not feeling as well today,” Ruff said. “It’s a day-by-day (thing) to see where he’s at.”

Ruff indicated that center Josh Norris received treatments on the unspecified injury that saw him miss the Vegas game and that he will travel with the club, as will winger JJ Peterka, who is feeling better after missing two games with a lower-body injury, but hesitated from saying he would play on Monday.

“He hasn’t practiced, but I got a really good report on him,” Ruff said. “I think it’s possible (he’ll play against Boston), but based on him only skating this morning, we’re just worried how that goes.”

Rosen was sent down to the AHL Amerks earlier this week and scored his club-leading 27th goal to tie the game in the third in a 4-3 shootout victory over Providence on Friday. Murray is second on the club in scoring with 23 goals, and played two games for the Sabres last season.
