Sabres Recall Lukáš Rousek

March 9, 2024 at 5:52 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 1 Comment

The Sabres had winger Lukáš Rousek back in the lineup for today’s shootout win over the Oilers after recalling him from AHL Rochester on an emergency loan late last night, per CapFriendly.

Rousek, 24, is in his second NHL season and his third playing North American pro hockey in the Sabres organization. A sixth-round pick of the team in 2019, he’d suited up in eight major league games heading into today’s action. The smooth-skating winger has solidified himself as a top-line presence in the minors but has yet to blow the doors off in the NHL, recording a goal and an assist with four shots on goal while averaging 10:55 per game. He didn’t get on the scoresheet in today’s game, but he registered an even rating and one shot on goal and logged nearly 13 minutes.

He’s continually progressed throughout his time in Rochester, however, and could very well make some noise for a spot on the Sabres’ opening-night roster in 2024-25. The 5-foot-11 winger has stayed on pace with last season’s totals, clicking at roughly a 0.8 points per game rate with 10 goals, 38 points, and a -8 rating in 48 games with the Amerks this year. Sabres GM Kevyn Adams inked Rousek to a two-year extension with a $775K cap hit last summer, so he won’t reach restricted free agency until 2025. He’ll have arbitration rights upon expiry.

Rousek’s recall does not count against the Sabres’ four post-deadline recalls because it was executed under emergency conditions. Buffalo would have been short a forward today with Rousek as Jordan Greenway was out with an undisclosed injury.

    Glad to lose 2 from trades and 1 from injury to only see jost Rousek and Bryson play. Why they don’t play the promising ones they have in their prospect pool instead is just plain dumb. Adams has mismanaged this beyond anything ANY OTHER OWNER in the NHL would put up with. Terry is too busy building his precious Bills stadium and watching his daughter play tennis to give a dam about this team! 13 and more to go Sabres fans!
