Jack Rathbone - NHL News & Rumors

On waivers Buffalo put Rathbone on waivers Saturday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Rathbone is expected to clear waivers and start 2025-26 in the minors. He had six goals, 23 points and 51 PIM in 63 regular-season outings with AHL Rochester last year. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2022-23 campaign.

Inks two-year deal with Buffalo Rathbone signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with the Sabres on Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Rathbone made 63 regular-season appearances with AHL Rochester in 2024-25, registering six goals, 23 points, 51 PIM and a plus-9 rating. The 26-year-old blueliner will most likely continue to provide organizational depth for the Americans next season. His last NHL appearance came with Vancouver in 2022-23.

Sent to AHL Rathbone was loaned to AHL Rochester on Monday.

Impact Rathbone was called up by the Sabres on Sunday to provide additional depth, but he'll head back to the minors since Rasmus Dahlin has moved past his illness. Rathbone hasn't made an NHL appearance since the 2022-23 campaign, and it seems unlikely that he'll rejoin Buffalo before the end of the regular season.

Brought up from AHL Rathbone was recalled from AHL Rochester on Sunday.

Impact Rathbone has five goals and 20 points in 56 minor-league outings this season. Jacob Bryson will probably play against Washington on Sunday if Rasmus Dahlin (illness) is unavailable, but Rathbone will provide some additional depth.

Designated for waivers Rathbone was placed on waivers by Buffalo on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Rathbone has seen action in 28 NHL games, all with Vancouver, but spent all of last year in the minors with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. With the Baby Pens, the 25-year-old defenseman showed significantly more offensive upside with eight goals and 16 assists in 67 contests. If there is an injury on the blue line, Rathbone should be in the mix for a call-up.

Secures one-year deal Rathbone signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sabres on Monday.

Impact Rathbone had nine goals and 24 points across 69 AHL regular-season contests between Abbotsford and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The 25-year-old also has two goals and five points in 28 career NHL appearances.

Acquired via trade Rathbone was brought in by the Penguins on Tuesday, along with Karel Plasek, from Vancouver in exchange for Mark Friedman and Ty Glover.

Impact Rathbone's acquisition will do little to alter the 23-man roster for Pittsburgh as he likely sits very far down the depth chart even among the players suiting up for the Baby Pens in the AHL. The Boston native has 28 games of NHL experience in his career but almost certainly won't be adding to that total this season.

Impact Rathbone played 11 games with Vancouver last season, tallying a goal and an assist. The 24-year-old defenseman has bounced between the AHL and NHL for the past three seasons, and he'll likely serve a similar depth role this year if he clears waivers.
