Despite injury, Anderson has had an impressive season in Buffalo, totaling a .916 save percentage and 6-3 record.
The Sabres are rotating rather than sitting one player because Granato doesn’t want anyone sitting for too long, particularly the young defensemen on the roster, and the idea is that a breather will only help them perform better when on the ice.
Olofsson scored his first goal since Halloween, giving Buffalo a 4-3 edge with 2:55 remaining in regulation en route to a 6-3 win over the New York Islanders.
