Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Cleared to play

Samuelsson has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play Saturday versus the Wild.

Samuelsson was hurt in Friday's contest against the Devils, but he apparently didn't sustain a concussion. The 25-year-old will resume his usual top-four role and penalty-killing duties. Samuelsson has 12 points over 22 appearances this season, putting him three points shy of setting a new career high.
