Dylan Strome News: Slated to play

Strome (lower body) is expected to play Saturday versus the Sabres, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Strome was labeled a game-time decision earlier in the day, but he took warmups in a top-six spot while Spencer Smallman was an extra. The 28-year-old Strome will functionally replace Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) in the lineup for this contest.
