The Buffalo Sabres have recalled defenseman Kale Clague from the Rochester Americans, the team announced Friday. Goaltender Dustin Tokarski has been assigned to Rochester.
Clague has 23 points (3+20) in 41 games with Rochester this season. He had four assists in 33 games with Buffalo in 2022-23.
Tokarski was recalled Thursday to back up Eric Comrie during the Sabres’ 4-0 loss to Florida. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was unavailable for that game due to a lower-body injury, but coach Don Granato said postgame that there is “a good chance” Luukkonen will be able to play Saturday in Minnesota.
Tokarski is 7-7-2 with an .888 save percentage in 16 games with Rochester this season. The Amerks host Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday at 7:05 p.m.
