Sabres claim forward Jost off waivers from Wild

The Buffalo Sabres have claimed forward Tyson Jost off of waivers from the Minnesota Wild, the team announced Saturday.
Forward Anders Bjork was reassigned to the Rochester Americans in a corresponding move.
Jost, 24, has three assists in 12 games this season. The Wild acquired the forward last March in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche, with whom Jost spent the first five-plus seasons of his career.

Colorado selected Jost with the 10th-overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft. He has 112 points (47+65) in 354 career NHL games.
Jost has averaged over a minute of shorthanded ice time per game in each of the last three seasons, including 1:28 this season for a Wild penalty kill that is tied for 12th in the NHL.
The Sabres play Saturday night in Toronto, then conclude a run of three straight road games in Montreal on Tuesday. The team returns home to host the St. Louis Blues next Wednesday.
