BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sabres center Jack Eichel declared hes cleared every hurdle in recovering from a sprained left ankle, and coach Dan Bylsma said theres a possibility the center will make his season debut at Ottawa on Tuesday.Well see, Bylsma said Monday, giving no guarantees that Eichel will play against the Senators. But Bylsma noted he was impressed by how the player performed during consecutives days of rigorous practices.Jack looks good on the ice, Bylsma said. It was a big test for him yesterday and seeing how he came in today was a big step for whether were going to see him tomorrow.Eichel practiced with his expected linemates, Evander Kane and Sam Reinhart, and also assumed his familiar role on the teams top power-play unit.The next test is seeing whether Eichel experiences any setbacks overnight before determining whether hell play.Eichel has been out since hurting the ankle during practice on Oct. 12, a day before Buffalos season opener against Montreal. He began practicing with the team last week and was scheduled to board the Sabres flight for a road trip for the first time this season.Its a step in the right direction just being able to head out there and put my best foot forward, but who knows what will happen tomorrow night, he said. The patience is starting to wear thin, but youve got to make sure youre being smart.Eichel, college hockeys top player during his freshman season at Boston University, was selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft. He led the Sabres in scoring 24 goals and finished second among NHL rookies with 56 points in 81 games,Eichels pending return has the potential of providing the Sabres a boost, particularly on a sputtering offense.Buffalo (7-9-5) has scored one or fewer goals in regulation 12 times this season, including eight of its past 12 outings.Injuries have played a factor. Center Ryan OReilly returned last week after missed five games with a strained oblique, while Evander Kane missed 11 games with broken ribs.Buffalo is still playing without forward Tyler Ennis (sports hernia) and defensemen Zach Bogosian (sprained knee) and Dmitry Kulikov (lower back).Eichels mere presence in practice provided the Sabres a lift, with several teammates notably tapping their sticks each time Eichel scored.I think you see thats a little bit of relief for everybody, Bylsma said.Eichel is eager to come to the rescue for a team thats 2-1-1 in its past four since ending a 0-6-2 skid.These are my best buddies, these are my teammates. Youd like to go through adversity with them and be able to play, Eichel said. And not being able to do that has been pretty rough.Ryan Bee Jersey . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions.

Her ball hopped onto the green, curled right toward the pin and missed by a few inches on the high side before stopping a foot away.Yesterday that hole was playing into the wind. I just laid up short of the bunkers and wedged on and still made a birdie, Lang said. Today was downwind, so I could carry it. I just hit a nice little high-cut driver just right of the pin. It landed nice and soft and kind of fed down there. ... I swore it was going to go in.

I think thats what got me scared. I just couldnt get the ball in the hole.Cristie Kerr made it an all-Solheim Cup final threesome Saturday, shoooting a 65 to reach 7 under on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course.ddddddddddddSouth Koreas Sung Hyun Park also was 7 under after a 65.
