Finally the Buffalo Sabres have some good news to deal with. After having such a rough start to their season, they can take solace in knowing that injured forward Jason Pominville will be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday night.

Pominville has been out with a concussion since being the recipient of a hit from behind courtesy of Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. Head coach Lindy Ruff was understandably excited to have Pominville back in the lineup. Of course, things won’t be easy for Pominville right away as the Sabres will deal with the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night in a playoff rematch.
