The Buffalo Sabres have placed forward Jeff Skinner on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury sustained from a hit by Nathan MacKinnon, while recalling forward Brett Murray from the Rochester Americans. Skinner will be required to miss a minimum of seven days, while Murray made his season debut earlier this week before being loaned to Rochester to make room for Alex Tuch's return from injured reserve.
Alex Tuch skated with the Buffalo Sabres for the first time since his injury but will not play against the Arizona Coyotes. Tuch's return is expected for the Sabres' upcoming road trip. In his absence, Brett Murray will make his season debut. Mattias Samuelsson's status is uncertain due to soreness. Devon Levi is expected to start in goal. Tuch's time away from the team was spent with his wife, who gave birth to their first child. Isak Rosen has returned to the AHL. The Coyotes have lost their last two games after a five-game winning streak.
The Buffalo Sabres have extended qualifying offers to forwards Brett Murray and Linus Weissbach, both pending restricted free agents. Murray has recorded two goals and six assists in 21 NHL games and posted 49 points in 71 games for the Rochester Americans last season. Weissbach has compiled 84 points in 136 games over the last two seasons in Rochester, scoring 20 goals in the 2022-23 season. Unrestricted free agency opens on Saturday at noon.
