Sabres recall Asplund, loan Davidson to taxi squad

The Buffalo Sabres have recalled defenseman Rasmus Asplund from the taxi squad. Defenseman Brandon Davidson has been loaned to the taxi squad.
Sabres coach Ralph Krueger announced Monday morning that Asplund will join the lineup against the Washington Capitals in place of Cody Eakin, who will be a healthy scratch.

Asplund has scored one goal in four games this season. He has skated with the taxi squad since last appearing against New Jersey on Feb. 25.
"I think it's a really good experience for me mentally to come in every day and try to get better and work on stuff and small details," Asplund said.
Coverage on Monday begins at 6:30 p.m. on MSG. The puck drops at 7.
