@SabresProspects Jake McCabe takes puck low and scores on his second shift to give Wisconsin a 1-0 lead on Oho State. McCabe's sixth goal of the year. @SabresProspects BTN's Ben Clymer on Badgers D Jake McCabe: "It's a matter of when McCabe wears a Sabres uniform, not if." Agreed. #Sabres

JT Compher having a great game against MSU: @SabresProspects Compher finishes off a short-handed 2x1 rush for his second goal of the night. Compher now with 2+2. Looking good.

‏@kevinoDandC Because he's been on #Sabres roster at least 87 days, Mark Pysyk had to be assigned to #Amerks by 5 pm to play in AHL during Olympic break.

The Sabres want Pysyk to continue playing during the Olympic break.

01/23 – Sabres rookie Phil Varone set for NHL debut, emotional over first recall (Bill Hoppe – Olean Times Herald) Per Hoppe, Wingers Linus Omark and John Scott will sit. So will banged-up defenseman Mark Pysyk, a scratch last game.

Either Leino or Omark is watching from upstairs. Maybe both if Ellis is in the lineup.
