The Buffalo Sabres have assigned forward Scott Wilson to Rochester.
The move comes as the Sabres are getting healthier up front, with wingers Victor Olofsson and Kyle Okposo both set to return tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Wilson appeared in Buffalo's last four contests, tallying a goal and an assist.

Wilson has tallied 18 points (9+9) in 27 games this season with the Amerks, who rank third in the North Division after dropping their last four games. They visit division rival Syracuse on Saturday, then host Utica on Sunday afternoon with puck drop scheduled for 3:05.
