Sabres recall F Kassian from AHL Rochester

Posted February 01, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Zack Kassian,  Thomas Vanek
TEAMS: Buffalo Sabres,  New York Rangers

The Buffalo Sabres have recalled rookie forward Zack Kassian from AHL Rochester prior to their home game against the New York Rangers. The move was made Wednesday, a day after leading goal scorer Thomas Vanek sustained what the team is calling an upper body injury in a 3-1 win at Montreal. Vanek is expected to miss at least a week. Kassian is a hard-hitting forward who was selected in the first round of the 2009 draft by Buffalo. He's in his first pro season and had three goals and three assists in an 18-game stretch with the Sabres earlier this season. In 28 games in Rochester, he has 11 goals and 11 assists.

Morning puck fans! Well, that was rough last night. The 3-1 score, which featured an empty netter for Patrick Kaleta, is not quite indicative of the game. With the Sabres getting 40 shots in the contest, it was never really that close. Thank goodness Carey Price was not playing looking towards the glass or it could have been far worse. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the league...

Here is the latest dust up on the ice. This time the Montreal Canadians players are whining and complaining about something that the Buffalo Sabres forward Paul Gaustad said on the ice, and after further review, it would appear that Max Pacioretty said something stupid to Gaustad first and got a response and got a quick response back. In my opinion it sounds like Pacioretty got PWND...
