Jason Pominville Won't Play On Monday

Buffalo Sabres right wing Jason Pominville (undisclosed) won't play on Monday against Nashville after taking a hit from behind in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to Florida.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid will try to get back to winning ways on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He's lost four straight starts, giving up four goals in each outing.
