Injury Strikes Buffalo Sabres Prospects Challenge

Matt Savoie, the Buffalo Sabres' top pick in the 2022 draft, suffered an upper-body injury during the Prospects Challenge game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The injury may cause him to miss the start of NHL training camp and could impact his chances of making the Sabres' roster. Savoie had a strong rookie camp and was expected to be among the team's leaders in ice time. The injury occurred early in the game when Savoie collided with an opponent near his net. The extent of the injury and his recovery timeline are yet to be determined.

Prospect's Early Pro Debut Questioned as AHL Teams Compete for Calder Cup.

The Buffalo Sabres' decision to play Matt Savoie during the Rochester Americans' Eastern Conference final playoff series against Hershey was ill-timed, as the 19-year-old was badly overmatched on the wall as a winger. Savoie, who was still in game shape from playing in the Western Hockey League final with Winnipeg, played Games 2 and 3 and didn't get a shot on goal as Rochester lost both. The Amerks had won Game 1 on the road, 5-1, and their speed clearly surprised the bigger, more veteran Hershey lineup. Despite the series loss, it is hard to argue the success the Sabres have found in Rochester.
