Expected Returns This Week

Some good news going into Week Five of the season, as the Sabres have announced that Jason Pominville has cleared all of his concussion testing and will be ready to rejoin the Sabres line-up on Wednesday night when the team hosts the Boston Bruins.  Pominville has been out of the line-up since the second game of the season, when he was hit from behind by the Blackhawks' Niklas Hjalmarsson.

Speaking of Blackhawks defensemen, Brian Campbell has also been cleared to return to action and he will go on Monday night against the New York Rangers.  Campbell has been out of the line-up since the preseason with a sprained knee.  His return should greatly improve the Blackhawks core.
