Matthew Savoie Called Up By Sabres
1 year agoThe Buffalo Sabres have called up top prospect and forward Matthew Savoie from the American Hockey League's Rochester Americans. The ninth overall pick of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft had a chance to crack Buffalo's opening-night roster but a shoulder injury suffered in a prospect tournament in late September forced him to the minors to begin the season. The 19-year-old has notched two goals and five points alongside six penalty minutes through six games with the Americans this season after notching 75 goals and 185 points across 127 games with the Western Hockey League's Winnipeg Ice over the last two seasons. The Sabres' forward depth is being tested with Dylan Cozens, Jack Quinn, Zach Benson, and Brandon Biro all currently sidelined with injuries.
