Finley has a goal and assist and a team-leading 57 penalty minutes in 18 games with Rochester this season. The Sabres open a five-game homestand against Philadelphia on Wednesday. Leopold has been out since being hurt in the first period of a 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders last week. The Sabres are also expected to be without forward Paul Gaustad (upper body), who was hurt in a 3-2 win at Nashville on Saturday.
