The Buffalo Sabres have made roster moves, recalling forward Matt Savoie from his conditioning loan with the Rochester Americans (Amerks) and placing forward Brandon Biro on injured reserve, the team announced Monday.

Savoie, who started the regular season on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury sustained during the Prospects Challenge finale against Pittsburgh on September 18, was sent on a conditioning stint with the Amerks on October 22. During his time with Rochester, Savoie made a significant impact by tallying five points, including two goals and three assists, in just six games. His debut against Charlotte on October 25 was marked by an assist, and he scored his first goal in the AHL against Laval on October 27.

Following his recall from the Amerks last Tuesday, Biro wasted no time making an impact in the Sabres' game against Philadelphia. Biro notched his first career NHL goal and later added an empty-netter in the team's 5-2 victory at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday. Prior to his call-up, Biro had a strong start to the season in Rochester, accumulating two goals and four assists for a total of six points.

With the addition of Savoie, the Sabres are reinforcing their forward depth and unlocking an additional offensive threat. Savoie's successful conditioning stint showcases his readiness to contribute at the NHL level, and the team has high hopes for his performance moving forward.

On the other hand, placing Biro on injured reserve signifies that his injury is more severe than initially anticipated. The Sabres will closely monitor his recovery process and provide updates as necessary.

The Buffalo Sabres will continue to navigate the challenges posed by injuries and roster adjustments as they strive to achieve success in the ongoing NHL season. The recalls, conditioning loans, and injured reserve placements are strategic moves aimed at optimizing the team's performance and ensuring that key players are given the necessary time to heal and recover.
