Gavin Bayreuther - NHL News & Rumors

Acquired in minor-league swap Buffalo obtained Bayreuther from Carolina on Saturday in exchange for Viktor Neuchev.

Impact Bayreuther has four goals and 13 points in 33 minor-league appearances this season. After starting the season with AHL Chicago, he will report to Rochester following the trade. The 31-year-old blueliner has five goals and 28 points in 122 career NHL regular-season outings, but it's unclear if he will get a chance to see any action with the Sabres this campaign.

Reassigned Saturday Bayreuther was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Bayreuther was up as injury insurance for the Hurricanes' blue line. With fewer injury concerns over the last week, he's no longer needed with the big club and will wait for his next chance at a call-up while playing with the Wolves.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from minors Bayreuther was recalled from AHL Chicago on Monday.

Impact Carolina placed Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Bayreuther will be an option for Monday's matchup against the Rangers, but he could be a healthy scratch for the contest. He has four goals and 13 points in 24 AHL outings this season.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reassigned to AHL Bayreuther was loaned to AHL Chicago on Saturday.

Impact In a corresponding move, the Hurricanes brought up forward Bradly Nadeau from the minors. Bayreuther has been a healthy scratch in Carolina's last four games. He has notched three goals and three assists in nine AHL outings this campaign.

Called up Saturday Bayruether was recalled from AHL Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Bayruether has spent all season in the AHL. The 31-year-old defenseman has three goals and three assists in nine AHL contests, after spending last season overseas with Lausanne HC of the Swiss League. The Hurricanes placed Jalen Chatfield (upper body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Bayruether could see action as the Hurricanes' sixth defenseman, or he could be a healthy scratch as the seventh man.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Carolina Bayreuther was placed on the waiver wire by the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Impact Bayreuther will report to AHL Chicago if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 31-year-old defenseman played overseas last year, generating five goals, 23 points and plus-5 rating over 52 regular-season games with Lausanne HC in Switzerland's National League.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inks two-way deal Bayreuther agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Friday.

Impact Bayreuther hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2022-23 when he was with the Blue Jackets. That season, the 31-year-old blueliner notched two goals and 12 helpers in 51 regular-season tilts while averaging 15:57 of ice time. It certainly seemed like the New Hampshire native was close to becoming a full-time NHL option, but instead spent last year playing overseas with Lausanne HC, notching five goals and 18 helpers in 52 regular-season contests. At this point, if Bayreuther logs any NHL minutes, it will probably be the result of an injury among the Hurricanes' forward group.

JULY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Put on waivers Bayreuther was placed on waivers Monday.

Impact If he clears, Bayreuther will report to AHL Texas. He supplied two goals, 12 assists, 61 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and 54 hits in 51 games with Columbus last season.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signing with Dallas Bayreuther signed a one-year, $775,000 deal with the Stars on Sunday.

Impact Bayreuther played in 51 games with Columbus last season, tallying two goals and 14 points. He'll head back to Dallas, where he spent his first NHL season, to compete for a depth spot on the blueline.

Draws helper in loss Bayreuther notched an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Bayreuther has logged three assists over his last two contests, earning points in consecutive games for the first time since January. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to hold down a third-pairing role. He's at two goals, nine helpers, 40 shots on net, 43 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 36 outings.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rare two-point effort Bayreuther logged two assists in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Bayreuther doesn't get on the scoresheet often -- he'd gone six games without a point entering Tuesday. He helped out on the first goals for both Johnny Gaudreau and Boone Jenner in this contest. Bayreuther is up to a career-high 10 points with 40 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 42 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 35 outings this season. He should maintain a third-pairing role the rest of the way.
