Sabres' Jason Zucker: No timeline for return
Zucker is dealing with a severe viral issue and has no timeline for his return to the lineup, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News on Monday.
Zucker remains on injured reserve and is out indefinitely. He has already missed the last three games, and it's unclear when he will return to the ice for practices. Zucker has contributed four goals, three assists, 27 shots on net and 15 hits over 12 appearances this season.

Sabres' Zach Benson: Set to travel with team
Benson (lower body) will travel with the Sabres during their upcoming three-game road trip, Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report reports.
Benson has been sidelined for a week and a half due to his lower-body injury, but he's eligible to be activated off injured reserve whenever he's deemed healthy. The 20-year-old could return at some point during the road trip, which begins Wednesday in Utah and concludes in Detroit on Saturday. Benson has made eight appearances this year, logging eight assists, six blocked shots, four hits and six PIM while averaging 19:02 of ice time.

Sabres' Jiri Kulich: Set to miss significant time
Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Kulich (ear) is slated to miss significant time due to a blood clot issue, Brayton J. Wilson of WBEN reports.
Kulich landed on injured reserve last week due to fluid in his ears, and he'll miss extended time due to what Ruff called a "pretty serious" blood clot issue. However, Ruff hopes that Kulich will be able to return to game action before the end of the regular season. Prior to sustaining his injury, Kulich recorded three goals, two assists, 12 blocked shots, nine hits and four PIM while averaging 16:22 of ice time over 12 appearances.

Sabres' Owen Power: Pots goal in loss
Power scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Power's tally tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, but the Hurricanes were able to pull away in the second. The 22-year-old Power figures to play a larger role in the short term while Rasmus Dahlin (personal) is away from the team. For the season, Power has two goals, six points, 20 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-5 rating over 14 outings.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Beaten four times Saturday
Lyon stopped 29 of 33 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. The other two goals were empty-netters late in the third period.
Lyon was beaten once in the first period, twice in the second and once more in the third. The Sabres managed to reduce the deficit to one goal and decided to pull Lyon out late in the game, but Carolina took advantage of that to ice the game for good with two empty-netters. This was Lyon's fourth straight loss of the season. The 32-year-old has gone 0-1-3 with a 3.44 GAA and an .891 save percentage in that span. His last win came against the Maple Leafs on Oct. 24.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Scores, assists in loss
Thompson recorded a goal, an assist, four shots and two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Thompson was involved in both of the Sabres' third-period goals, setting up Alex Tuch's strike and later finding the twine with a snap shot past Pyotr Kochetkov at the 6:49 mark. Even though those two goals weren't enough to mount a late comeback, at least they allowed Thompson to snap a brief two-game pointless skid. The 28-year-old center has three points in four games this month after opening the season with nine points (four goals, five assists) in 11 contests in October.

Sabres' Alex Tuch: Two points in loss Saturday
Tuch recorded a goal, an assist and three hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Tuch found the back of the net at the 3:23 mark of the third period when the Sabres attempted a comeback, and he'd later set up Tage Thompson's goal a few minutes later. Tuch has been productive of late and has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last six games with Buffalo, tallying seven points (three goals, four assists), 11 shots, five hits, five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over that span.

Sabres' Radim Mrtka: Three helpers Saturday
Mrtka notched three assists in WHL Seattle's 7-3 win over Vancouver on Saturday.
Mrtka has settled right back in for the Thunderbirds with six assists over five games since he was transferred back to the junior team from AHL Rochester. The Sabres prospect will continue to lead the blue line in Seattle for the remainder of 2025-26. As an import player, he will be eligible to suit up in the AHL before he's 20 years old, and that could lead to him playing for Rochester in 2026-27, as he probably doesn't have much left to learn in junior hockey.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Slated starter Saturday
Lyon is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Saturday, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Lyon has gone 0-0-3 over his past three appearances while allowing 10 goals on 96 shots (.896 save percentage). That rough patch has left him with a 3-4-3 record, 2.80 GAA and .915 save percentage through 10 outings overall. Carolina ranks fourth in goals per game with 3.62 this year.

Sabres' Stiven Sardarian: Big game for Michigan Tech
Sardarian scored twice and added an assist in Michigan Tech's 4-1 win over Northern Michigan University on Friday.
Sardarian opened the year with 11 assists in eight games before finally breaking through with his two goals Friday. The 22-year-old winger is in his senior year of college hockey, and his offense has been quality since transferring from the University of New Hampshire prior to 2024-25. Sardarian's signing rights are held by the Sabres, and it remains to be seen if he'll secure an entry-level deal after his collegiate season is over.

Sabres' Zac Jones: Up from minors
Jones was summoned from AHL Rochester on Friday, per Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.
Rasmus Dahlin (personal) was placed on the non-roster list in a corresponding move. Jones has 13 assists in 11 appearances with Rochester this season. He recorded a goal and 11 points in 46 regular-season outings with the Rangers in 2024-25. Jones probably won't see more than third-pairing duties with Buffalo during Dahlin's absence.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Designated non-roster
Dahlin (personal) has been placed on the non-roster, injured reserve list Friday, per the NHL media site.
While Dahlin is in Sweden to attend to a personal matter, the team will need an extra defenseman on the 23-man roster. With the available spot, the Sabres recalled Zac Jones from AHL Rochester. As soon as Dahlin rejoins the team, he will be eligible to be taken off the non-roster list.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Stepping away from team
Dahlin will be returning to Sweden for personal reasons, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports Friday.
There is no timetable for how long Dahlin will be away from the team, but it seems unlikely to be a short-term absence. Bowen Byram figures to see increased opportunities with the No. 1 power-play unit while Dahlin is on leave.

Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Zero help from teammates
Luukkonen made 14 saves in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis on Thursday.
Luukkonen didn't face much rubber and honestly he wasn't stellar. The Sabres continue to have an odor to their game, and UPL hasn't been able to solve that problem since he returned from injury. Lukkonen is 1-1-1 with a 2.91 GAA and .877 save percentage. This could be a rough season.

Sabres' Jiri Kulich: On injured reserve
Kulich (ear) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, according to Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.
Kulich's issue is related to fluid in his ears, the Sabres announced Wednesday. His placement on IR is presumably retroactive to Saturday, which is when Kulich was last in the lineup. He'll miss his second straight game when the Sabres face St. Louis on Thursday. When the 21-year-old is ready to return, he'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity.

Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Set to return Thursday
Kozak (lower body) is slated to return for Thursday's game against the Blues, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Kozak missed the last five games due to his lower-body injury, but he's set to be activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's matchup. He'll likely reclaim a bottom-six role now that he's been cleared to return. Over his first seven appearances of the season, Kozak recorded two goals, 19 hits and four blocked shots while averaging 9:52 of ice time.
