| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Tyler Ennis  ActiveTyler Ennis scored two goals and an assist in Sunday's 6-4 loss to Detroit. The Sabres led 3-0 after the first period, but they had a complete meltdown after that point. Ennis had just one point in his last eight games and he hasn't had a multi-point game since December 11th. The 25-year-old has 12 goals and 28 points in 47 games this season. Drew Stafford and Chris Stewart also scored for Buffalo. The Sabres have now lost 11 games in a row, and 15 of their last 16. Jan 18 |
| 2 | Cody Hodgson ActiveCody Hodgson has registered just two goals and seven points in 46 games this season. He has been bumped out of Buffalo's top-six forward group and he's logged well under 10 minutes of ice time in his past two outings. Last season, Hodgson ranked second on the Sabres with 20 goals and he led the team with 44 points in 72 games. Perhaps, he can salvage something in the second half, but right now he isn't worth rostering. Jan 22 |
| 3 | Zemgus Girgensons ActiveZemgus Girgensons wasn't able to get a point during the All-Star Game, but he enjoyed his time there. "It's unbelievable skill out there," Girgensons said. "It was just fun seeing all the guys do cool stuff and seeing all those goals. If I was a goalie in this game, I would be ... not happy." Team Toews defeated Team Foligno by a score of 17-12 in the contest. Girgensons was the leading vote-getter for the event, as his Latvian fans stuffed the ballot box. He played on a line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Radim Vrbata during the match. Jan 26 |
| 4 | Matt Ellis ActiveMatt Ellis is up with the Sabres. He has dressed in four games with the Sabres this month. Ellis doesn't have any points this season and he scored six in 50 outings with Buffalo in 2013-14. He practiced on Monday on the fourth line with Nicolas Deslauriers and Patrick Kaleta. Jan 26 |
| 5 | Tim Schaller ActiveThe Buffalo Sabres recalled Tim Schaller from the AHL. The 24-year-old has scored one goal in four games for the Sabres this season. He has no fantasy value going forward. Jan 4 |
| LW | 1 | Matt Moulson ActiveMatt Moulson has not scored a goal in his last eight games. Linemates Zemgus Girgensons and Tyler Ennis have been mired in slumps of their own, with Girgensons going scoreless in his past five and Ennis accounting for only one goal in his last eight outings. Coach Ted Nolan said the combination could "probably maybe" be broken up on Friday against Tampa Bay. Jan 9 |
| 2 | Marcus Foligno  SidelinedThere is no timetable for when Marcus Foligno will be available to return from a hand injury. However, he is getting closer to returning after missing the past 13 games. Jan 27 |
| 3 | Brian Flynn ActiveBrian Flynn notched a goal and added an assist in Buffalo's 5-4 shootout win over Ottawa. He scored the game-tying marker with 3:29 remaining in the third period. Flynn didn't have a point in his previous six outings. He has recorded seven points in 22 games this season. Dec 16 |
| 4 | Cody McCormick  I.L.Cody McCormick (blood clot) has been moved to the injured reserve list. McCormick was hospitalized because of a blood clot in his calf muscle. He was released from the hospital on Monday, but there's no timetable for his return. Jan 13 |
| 5 | Nicolas Deslauriers ActiveNicolas Deslauriers fought Luke Gazdic early on in the third period of Edmonton's 3-2 win over Buffalo on Thursday night. The Oilers were up 2-1 at the time, so one imagines that Deslauriers was trying to rally the troops. Either way, Deslauriers added five hits and a block onto his five penalty minutes during his 6:57 of ice time. He also spent 70 seconds on the penalty kill. Through 49 games he has 12 points and 55 PIMs. Jan 30 |
| RW | 1 | Drew Stafford ActiveDrew Stafford will indeed play against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night. He's going to lineup on the fourth line to the left of Cody McCormick and Patrick Kaleta. Stafford has limited fantasy value with 20 points, 33 PIMs, and 41 hits through 37 games so far this season. Jan 9 |
| 2 | Chris Stewart ActiveChris Stewart scored the lone goal in the Sabres' 4-1 loss to Calgary on Tuesday Chris Stewart got the scoring started for either team as he showed great hand-eye coordination on a perfect tip-in shot. Unfortunately for the Sabres it was their only goal of the game. It was Stewart's seventh of the year and his second goal in as many games. He now has four points in his last three games for a nice little streak. He is getting some buzz around the hockey world as potential trade bait. Why not if you are Buffalo as it has lost 12 in a row now. Jan 28 |
| 3 | Brian Gionta ActiveBrian Gionta picked up assists on both of Buffalo's goals, however they still fell to Edmonton 3-2 on Thursday night. It was a solid game by the Captain who made his presence known by helping to create several opportunities, including the two eventual goals. Through 17:31 of ice time he put forth a block, two hits, three shots, plus a minor penalty, just to touch all of the major fantasy categories. Gionta now has four goals and 13 points in 36 games this season. Jan 30 |
| 4 | Torrey Mitchell ActiveBuffalo coach Ted Nolan scrambled all of his forward lines in Friday's practice. Well why wouldn't he? The Sabres can't score and they haven't won in nine games. Torrey Mitchell will get the chance to play with arguably the team's top two offensive talents--Tyler Ennis and Matt Moulson. Other line combinations were as follows: Chris Stewart-Zemgus Girgensons-Brian Flynn, Cody Hodgson-Phil Varone-Drew Stafford and Nicolas Deslauriers-Matt Ellis-Patrick Kaleta. Until the Sabres show any competency at all, we would bench all of the above. Jan 17 |
| 5 | Zac Dalpe ActiveThe Buffalo Sabres have summoned Zac Dalpe. Dalpe inked a one-year deal with the Sabres over the summer, but until now he hadn't been summoned by the squad. He has seven goals and 13 points in 31 contests in 2014-15. Jan 12 |
| 6 | Patrick Kaleta ActivePatrick Kaleta will tag in for Drew Stafford on Thursday night, who was unable to make it to Carolina after leaving for the birth of his first child. Kaleta has two assists, 21 penalty minutes and 28 hits in 15 games this season. Jan 8 |
| D | 1 | Tyler Myers ActiveTyler Myers popped his second goal of the season in Buffalo's 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Thursday night. After Torrey Mitchell dug the puck out from behind the offensive net, he attempted a wrap-around and the puck instead was deflected out towards Tyler Myers at the point. Myers' aim was true as his went top shelf past Ben Scrivens to make it 1-0 Sabres just 2:22 into the game. He finished the game with a hit, a two minute minor, and seven blocks through 21:33, along with his second goal and tenth point of the season through 41 games. Jan 30 |
| 2 | Rasmus Ristolainen ActiveRasmus Ristolainen scored his fourth goal of season Thursday night, but the Sabres fell to the Oilers 3-2. It was a solid effort and goal by Ristolainen as he followed up the rush as the third-man in to finish off the play late in the third period. The young defender finished with three shots, two hits, and a block through 16:32 of ice time. He now has four goals and nine points through 46 games. Jan 30 |
| 3 | Josh Gorges ActiveJosh Gorges was tied for a team low minus-three in a 7-0 blowout loss to the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night. Gorges is minus-25 so far this season in what has been a tough go for the Sabres. He has no goals and six assists through 36 games so far with Buffalo this year. Jan 15 |
| 4 | Nikita Zadorov ActiveNikita Zadorov isn't suspended anymore, but he won't be in the lineup on Thursday against Edmonton. His flight home was oversold and he was bumped, so he wasn't able to make it back in time for Monday's practice. Zadorov was suspended by the Sabres, so he missed Tuesday's game, and he returned to practice Wednesday. He will probably be back in the lineup on Friday and he apologized for not thinking ahead and giving himself a "safe day" just in case there were travel problems on his vacation. Jan 29 |
| 5 | Mike Weber ActiveMike Weber will return to Buffalo's blue line Tuesday night against Calgary. Out since mid-December with a lower body injury, the bruiser is expected to skate with Rasmus Ristolainen as their third unit. Through 36 games, Weber has accumulated 45 PIMs, 84 blocks, and 94 hits. Not too shabby if you're in a league that rewards tough guys. Jan 27 |
| 6 | Andre Benoit ActiveAndre Benoit netted his first goal as a member of the Sabres on Tuesday night. He scored a shorthanded goal in the second period to give Buffalo a 3-1 lead, but Detroit's power play got the last laugh in the third when it struck three times to break the game wide open. Benoit has produced four points in 25 games. Dec 24 |
| 7 | Andrej Meszaros ActiveAndrej Meszaros will tag in for Rasmus Ristolainen against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night. Risto is merely a healthy scratch. Meszaros though has just five points, 24 PIMs, 36 hits, and 54 blocks through 30 games so far this season. Jan 18 |
| 8 | Tyson Strachan ActiveTyson Strachan suffered a large cut in the back of his neck in Sunday's 6-4 loss to Detroit. He was injured in the second period on a shot by Henrik Zetterberg, but managed to return in the third frame. Strachan had one shot and two blocks in 11:52 of ice time. Jan 19 |
| G | 1 | Jhonas Enroth ActiveJhonas Enroth made 31 saves in Buffalo's 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Thursday night. Ironically, this may have been in Buffalo's greater interest. The loss created two more points worth of difference between them and Edmonton for most likely having the right to decide between Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel. Buffalo has 31 points to Edmonton's 35 in the standings. Enroth for his part falls to 11-19-2 with 112 goals against in 33 games this season. Jan 30 |
| 2 | Michal Neuvirth SidelinedMichal Neuvirth suffered a lower-body during a workout and he won't travel with the Sabres on their upcoming road trip. Coach Ted Nolan said the injury was "not long-long but long enough." Matt Hackett has been called up by Buffalo to take Neuvirth's place. Hackett will back up Jhonas Enroth. Jan 26 |
| 3 | Matthew Hackett ActiveMatthew Hackett will back up Jhonas Enroth on Buffalo's road trip. Michal Neuvirth is sidelined with a lower-body injury. Hackett tore his ACL and MCL last season in Buffalo's second to last game. He just returned to active duty and has played three matches in the AHL with Rochester. Jan 26 |
