Buffalo Sabres forward Taylor Hall will not play on Tuesday night against the New Jersey Devils, according to interim head coach Don Granato.
Hall, 29, is expected to be among the top forwards available ahead of the NHL s trade deadline, which falls on April 12 at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT. But the one-year, $8-million contract that he signed as a free agent in the off-season includes a full no-movement clause, giving him some control over his next destination.

The human side of the Buffalo Sabres 18-game winless streak of 2021

For nearly all of March, the Buffalo Sabres were the punchline of the NHL. They slogged through an 18-game winless streak, the longest in the salary cap era. They fired yet another coach, Ralph Krueger, as captain Jack Eichel remained sidelined with an injury. In its weekly power rankings, the Buffalo News even ranked the expansion Seattle Kraken (a team without players or a coach) ahead of the Sabres.
When Krueger was dismissed on March 17, assistant Don Granato was appointed interim coach. Granato, 53, is a member of one of America s most prominent hockey families. His younger sister, Cammi, is a Hockey Hall of Famer, and now a pro scout for the Kraken. His older brother Tony played 774 NHL games and now coaches Wisconsin s men s team. Don always dreamed of being an NHL head coach, but he finally got his opportunity at the most inopportune time and at the expense of a friend.
