The Buffalo Sabres have loaned forwards Jean-Sebastien Dea and Steven Fogarty to the taxi squad, the team announced Monday.
Tage Thompson and Tobias Rieder are expected to replace Dea and Fogarty in the lineup against the Philadelphia Flyers after both forwards participated in the team's morning skate. Thompson has missed the past three games due to an illness; Rieder has missed four games with an upper-body injury.
