Ostlund Game-Time Call vs Red Wings

Buffalo's rookie center Noah Ostlund battles an upper-body injury from that bruising hit against Boston, sitting out Thursday's practice but skating at today's optional session. Coach Lindy Ruff calls him day-to-day, leaving fans and fantasy managers sweating his status for the Red Wings clash. With Ostlund's recent scoring dip, his absence opens doors for Zach Benson's extra shifts and Alex Tuch's power-play return, while spares like Josh Dunne and Tanner Pearson lurk in the wings.
