The Sabres reassigned Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to Rochester (AHL).

Buffalo continues to shuffle their lineup around so that they can carry three goalies, this is once again nothing more than a paper transaction. Luukkonen should remain with the team and could start Tuesday in Chicago. Look for Craig Anderson to start Monday vs. the Panthers.

The Sabres recalled Peyton Krebs from Rochester (AHL).

The Sabres' roster shuffle continues as they try to carry three goalies, so Krebs comes back up and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen goes to the AHL to make room. Krebs will likely draw into the lineup and return to his usual role on the fourth line. Krebs has picked up three goals and six assists (nine points) in 34 games this season.

Jack Quinn has been recalled from Rochester (AHL).

Quinn has been having a solid rookie season, with six goals, 17 points, 50 SOG, and a +4 plus/minus through 33 games with the Sabres but was sent down to Rochester earlier in the week as a paper move due to the three healthy goaltender situation in Buffalo. He is back up with the big club and expected to stay for the remained of the year.
