Sabres Need Important Forward To Respond After Scratch
The Buffalo Sabres have made a notable lineup decision for their contest against the Utah Hockey Club. Forward Jack Quinn will be a healthy scratch, which is certainly notable considering he is supposed to be one of their key forwards.

However, Quinn has struggled significantly, so this decision is pretty understandable. The 2020 eighth-overall pick has been ice-cold, as he has been held off the scoresheet in eight straight games.
It has also been a rough year for Quinn in general, as he has just one goal and four assists to go along with a minus-11 rating in 24 contests. This is incredibly low for his standards, especially when noting that he had nine goals and 19 points in just 27 games last season.
The Sabres will now hope that Quinn will respond once he gets back into the lineup. There is no question that he is a skilled offensive player when playing at his best, but things are just not going right for him. We will need to wait and see how he performs from here.
