The Sabres will need to use the same formula that helped them build a 5-1 lead Tuesday in Ottawa. “They’re comfortable getting into a track meet going up the ice, trading chances, ” said Sabres center Tage Thompson. “That’s something we don’t really want to get into. We want to play the same way we did against Ottawa. Clog the middle in the neutral zone, make sure they’re not getting across the blue line. If we do that, it will frustrate them and we’ll turn pucks over and we’ll have our offense that way instead of trying to force stuff. ”Notable changeTyson Jost participated in line rushes at practice Thursday after he was a healthy scratch against the Senators, a sign that he will play in New Jersey while Zach Benson will have a seat in the press box.
