BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — An illness will keep Sabres coach Don Granato from being behind the bench for Buffalo’s game the against Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.
Seth Appert, coach of the Sabres' minor-league affiliate, the Rochester Americans, will fill in for Granato against Columbus. It’s unclear how much time Granato will miss; Buffalo is set to play at Ottawa on Sunday before enjoying a three-day break.
The Sabres have dropped four of five, including a 9-4 loss to the Blue Jackets on Dec. 19.
