He's traveling with the Sabres to NYC to back up Hackett against NYR and then he'll go back to the Amerks for their Friday game vs the Marlies. Sabres and Amerks both play on Sat/Sun so they'll have to figure out who backs up Hackett for the weekend, but I'm betting Makarov stays with the Amerks.

That'll do wonders for his UFA status. Should be a bidding war for his services. :doh:

I doubt that happens with the Amerks pushing for the playoffs. Hackett starts all four remaining games.

:lol:

@BuffaloSabres Ehrhoff and Weber will both be able to play tonight, Nolan says. #Sabres @BillHoppeNHL Ville Leino is a healthy scratch tonight. So are Zenon Konopka and John Scott. #Sabres

Just heard Nolan say Weber is in so I'm guessing he'll be paired with McBain again with Scott scratched.

@BuffaloSabres Some new line combinations. Foligno-Ennis-Stewart Mitchell-Girgensons-Hodgson Deslauriers-Larsson-D'Agostini Flynn-Ellis-Conacher @BuffaloSabres #Sabres defense at AM skate: McCabe-Pysyk Ehrhoff-Ristolainen McBain-Scott @BuffaloSabres Konopka, Leino and Stafford also here but didn't skate in first line rushes. #Sabres

Four Games for Rinaldo: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=713300&navid=DL|NHL|home

@ScoutingService @BuffaloSabres Prospects with Assistant GM Kevin Devine #NHL #Sabres http://www.hockeypro...kevin-devine/ … https://s3.amazonaws.com/NHL14/buffao_march14.mp3 <31:02>

Conflicts are April 12: Sabres at Boston and Amerks at Hamilton, April 13: Islanders at Sabres and Amerks at Lake Erie.

No big deal, the Amerks don't play until Friday. They can send him back in time to play against the Marlies.

@kevinoDandC You can expect #Amerks G Andrey Makarov to be joining the #Sabres for Tuesday's game at the FNC vs. Detroit.
