BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres are shuffling their roster by promoting forward Phil Varone from their AHL affiliate in Rochester.
The Sabres, on Wednesday, also demoted defenseman Brayden McNabb and forward Kevin Porter to Rochester.
Varone is in his third season with Rochester, and leads the Americans with 33 points (eight goals, 25 assists) in 38 games this season. He gets an opportunity to make his NHL debut as early as Thursday, when Buffalo hosts Carolina.
The Sabres (13-28-7) are last in the NHL and 0-2-2 in their past four.
