He has produced seven goals, 17 points, 92 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 71 hits in 40 appearances this season. Letang will replace Pierre-Olivier Joseph (illness) in Saturday's lineup.

Ryan McLeod - Lands on IR McLeod (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Devon Levi - Called up Saturday Levi was recalled from AHL Rochester on Saturday.

Impact Ryan McLeod (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. This move leaves the Sabres with just 12 healthy forwards, though it's possible the team deploys seven defensemen if Jiri Kulich (lower body) can't play during the upcoming four-game road trip that starts Monday in Seattle. Levi's presence on the NHL roster suggests he'll be in the mix to start either in Seattle or in Vancouver on Tuesday, though the team has not revealed its goaltending plans yet.

Impact Letang missed Friday's 5-2 win over Buffalo due to the illness. He has seven goals, 17 points, 18 PIM, 71 hits and 45 blocks in 40 appearances in 2024-25. If Letang returns Saturday, then Ryan Graves will likely be a healthy scratch.
