GAME LOG
The Sabres have only beaten one team more than once In a season that has been one of the worst in recent memory for the Buffalo Sabres and their fans, there are plenty of pitiful stats. One of...
MARCH 25, 2021 • SABRENOISE.COM
Up from AHL Dea was recalled from AHL Rochester to the taxi squad Thursday.
Impact Injuries are piling up for the Sabres, so Dea will add depth at forward. The 27-year-old has collected seven points through 32 career NHL games.
MARCH 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Bumped up to active roster Fogarty has been promoted to Buffalo's active roster ahead of Thursday's matchup with Pittsburgh.
Impact Fogarty will likely skate on Buffalo's fourth line against the Penguins. The 27-year-old center went scoreless in his lone appearance with the Sabres this season Feb. 15 against the Islanders.
MARCH 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Receives promotion Smith was promoted to the active roster Thursday.
Impact Smith hasn't played an NHL game since the 2018-19 season when he produced two goals over 11 games with the Sabres. With Tage Thompson (illness) and Rasmus Asplund (undisclosed) both uncertain for Thursday's game versus the Penguins, Smith could make his season debut at the top level.

Sabres' winless streak hits 15 as Penguins roll to 5-2 win

Sidney Crosby picked up his 13th goal of the season and the Pittsburgh Penguins extended Buffalo’s winless streak to 15 games with a 5-2 victory

Frederick Gaudreau Jumps On Taylor Hall's Turnover To Set Up Short-Handed Goal
MARCH 25, 2021 • YOUTUBE
Back on blueline Miller (undisclosed) had four hits and two blocks in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.
Impact Miller was right back in the lineup after missing Tuesday's practice, logging 17:36 of ice time on a pairing with Rasmus Dahlin. Miller, who has just one point in his last 12 games, has three goals and three assists in 28 contests on the year.
MARCH 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Handled by Penguins Tokarski stopped 37 of 42 shots Wednesday in a 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Tokarski's reward after spending the previous three years in the AHL was to join a Buffalo team that has now lost 15 games in a row. The 31-year-old was making his first start since Dec. 2015 and was actually having a fine performance until the Penguins blew the game open late in the second period. He got tied up with his own defenseman and was unable to reset in time to stop a John Marino one-timer that made it 3-1, then Frederick Gaudreau got him to overcommit three minutes later on a breakaway before feeding the trailing Zach Aston-Reese for a short-handed tally. Tokarski's role going forward will hinge entirely on the availability of Carter Hutton (lower body) and Linus Ullmark (lower body).
MARCH 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
First goal in almost two months Dahlin scored a goal on two shots while adding five hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins. He also had two PIM.
Impact Dahlin's point shot late in the opening period somehow eluded Pittsburgh netminder Tristan Jarry, reducing the Penguins' lead to 2-1. The goal was Dahlin's first since Jan. 31, ending a span of 20 consecutive games without lighting the lamp. It's been a trying year for everyone in Buffalo this season and Dahlin is no exception; the third-year defenseman has seen his offensive production cut in half compared to 2019-20 while logging a league-worst minus-30 rating.
MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Buries penalty shot Olofsson scored a goal on a penalty shot in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Olofsson beat Tristan Jarry five-hole late in the third period on what was his only shot on goal all night. It was his ninth tally of the year, second on the team behind only Sam Reinhart's 11. Olofsson, who had lit the lamp just once in his previous 14 contests entering Saturday's tilt, now has 20 points in 30 games on the year.
MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled under emergency conditions Houser was promoted to the active roster under emergency conditions Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Houser is expected to serve as the backup to Dustin Tokarski until Linus Ullmark (lower body) is ready to return. The 28-year-old Houser is unlikely to see much playing time.
MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Moves to long-term IR Ullmark (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Ullmark is on the Sabres' current road trip, but he's not expected to play. Consider this a paper move, as Ullmark has already missed the requisite time to be activated from LTIR. He could be in the mix for starts as soon as Monday versus the Flyers.
MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Exits with injury Wednesday Asplund (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Penguins.
Impact Asplund saw just three shifts in the first period before suffering the injury. It's unclear how exactly the 23-year-old got hurt. The Sabres' next game is Thursday versus the Penguins, so the Swede faces a quick turnaround to be ready for that contest.
MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on injured reserve Okposo (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Impact Okposo was already essentially ruled out for the remainder of the Sabres' road trip, which ends Saturday in Boston. The 32-year-old winger's first expected chance to return is Monday versus the Flyers, but there's been no indication he'll be ready at that time.
MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting out Wednesday Thompson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Penguins.
Impact At this time, there's no indication that Thompson's illness is related to COVID-19. The 23-year-old has recorded two points through 15 games this season. The Sabres are expected to roll with seven defensemen as a result of Thompson's absence, meaning Matt Irwin will draw into the lineup.
