Sabres' Conor Sheary: Ready to rock

The Sabres will be happy to have Sheary back in the lineup following his four-game absence, as he's been a solid source of secondary scoring this season, notching six goals and 12 points in 24 contests. The 26-year-old winger will likely return to a top-six role Tuesday, and should see time on the man advantage as well.

It should also be noted that Sheary remains on injured reserve, per the NHL media site. Until the winger is officially activated, he will be stuck in the press box while Remi Ellie is slated to replace Sheary in the lineup versus the Preds.

Prior to getting hurt, the Massachusetts native was bogged down in an eight-game goal drought, despite still averaging 1:18 of ice time with the man advantage.
