| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Tyler Ennis  ActiveTyler Ennis (groin) is expected to be back in the lineup Tuesday. He missed the team's last two games with a groin injury, but felt good at Monday's practice. Buffalo has some roster spots up front to fill after trading Chris Stewart, Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn at the deadline. With Ennis back, the Sabres will have to bring up a pair of players from the minors. Mar 3 |
| 2 | Cody Hodgson ActiveCody Hodgson scored a goal and an assist on Saturday, but the Buffalo Sabres still lost 5-3 to the Florida Panthers. Hodgson has had a disastrous season, but he has three points in as many games. The Sabres have to hope that the 2014-15 campaign won't end up being too damaging to his development process. Feb 28 |
| 3 | Zemgus Girgensons  I.L.Zemgus Girgensons (foot) may not be able to return this season after all. It was initially feared that he could miss the rest of the season, but then it was thought that he would be able to return. Girgensons could be ready just before the end of the year, but there's also a chance that he may be held out as a precaution. Mar 5 |
| 4 | Mikhail Grigorenko ActiveMikhail Grigorenko has been summoned from the minors. He has one goal and one assist in 12 games with the Sabres this season. Grigorenko was skating on the second line at practice on Thursday. He was just returned to the minors on Wednesday after he was scratched on Tuesday. Mar 5 |
| 5 | Phil Varone ActivePhil Varone got to center Buffalo's top line on Tuesday night. With Zemgus Girgensons injured, Varone played between Tyler Ennis and Matt Moulson. He's expected to be with the team for the remainder of the season after the Sabres opened up roster spots at the trade deadline. He has two goals in 10 games this season with Buffalo. Mar 5 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | Johan Larsson ActiveJohan Larsson has been dropped to the third line. Mikhail Grigorenko will move onto the second line in his place. Larsson skated with Cody Hodgson and Nicolas Deslauriers during Thursday's practice. Mar 5 |
| 8 | Tim Schaller ActiveTim Schaller was back up with the Sabres in Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. Buffalo's roster was depleted at the trade deadline and with Zemgus Girgensons still ailing from a foot injury the team required some help from the minors. Schaller logged 11:26 of ice time in his seventh NHL appearance of the season. Mar 4 |
| LW | 1 | Matt Moulson ActiveMatt Moulson earned two assists in Thursday's 6-3 win over Vancouver. He has generated eight points in 12 games during the month of February. Moulson, who has reached the 30-goal mark three times, has nine goals and 28 points in 59 games this year. Feb 27 |
| 2 | Marcus Foligno ActiveMarcus Foligno scored a goal and an assist in Buffalo's 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday. This was Foligno's first game back in the lineup after he was forced to miss 19 games with a hand injury. The Sabres were down 3-0 in the middle of the second period when they scored the final two goals of the game to make the score respectable. Foligno now has six goals and 11 points in 29 games. Drew Stafford also scored for Buffalo. The Sabres were only able to muster an embarrassing 10 shots on goal in the game. Feb 8 |
| 3 | Evander Kane I.L.Evander Kane believes that the shoulder surgery he had earlier this month won't force him to change his game next year. "I’m not concerned about it at all," Kane said in First Niagara Center. "It’s not going to change my game. I’m not going to second-guess going into a corner and taking a hit. I have lots of time to get healthy, and that’s something I thought about coming to that conclusion to get the surgery done." Kane won't play this season because of the surgery, but he should be a candidate for a big bounce-back season in 2015-16. Feb 22 |
| 4 | Cody McCormick I.L.Cody McCormick (blood clots) is targeting next season for his return. The medication he is taking to dissipate the clots in his leg and lungs will keep him out of the lineup. McCormick was diagnosed with blood clots on Jan. 10 and he hasn't played since. Feb 9 |
| 5 | Nicolas Deslauriers ActiveNicolas Deslauriers (illness) was able to play in Tuesday's game versus Columbus. He was good to go after participating in the pregame warmup, so Nikita Zadorov remained a healthy scratch. Deslauriers missed the morning skate due to an illness. Feb 25 |
| RW | 1 | Brian Gionta ActiveBrian Gionta produced a goal and two helpers in a 6-3 victory against Vancouver on Thursday. The Sabres captain has just seven markers and 19 points in 49 games this campaign. Gionta played on new-look top line versus the Canucks because of injuries to Zemgus Girgensons and Tyler Ennis. Gionta and Matt Moulson set two goals by Torrey Mitchell in the match. He scored into an empty net to seal the win. Feb 27 |
| 2 | Zac Dalpe  SidelinedZac Dalpe wasn't at practice Thursday because of a personal family matter. Coach Ted Nolan wasn't sure if Dalpe would be on the trip this weekend to Ottawa and Washington. Mar 5 |
| 3 | Patrick Kaleta I.L.The Buffalo Sabres have placed Patrick Kaleta on injured reserve. Kaleta will be out until mid-to-late March with what the team is calling a lower-body injury. He has three points and 32 penalty minutes in 33 games this season. Feb 22 |
| 4 | Jerry D'Amigo ActiveJerry D'Amigo has been called up by the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo acquired D'Amigo from Columbus back in December in exchange for Luke Adam. D'Amigo has six goals and 19 points in 31 contests in 2014-15. Mar 3 |
| D | 1 | 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 |
| 2 | Josh Gorges I.L.Josh Gorges (lower-body) will have season-ending surgery. Head coach Ted Nolan confirmed the news on Sunday morning. Gorges' first season in Buffalo has been a nightmare. The 30-year-old has played in only 46 games and he has no goals and six assists in 2014-15. He was never known as a point-producer, but he has an ugly minus-28 rating. The club has officially placed Gorges on injured reserve. Feb 22 |
| 3 | Zach Bogosian ActiveDespite coming out on the wrong end of a 3-0 shutout Tuesday night, Zach Bogosian offered his fantasy owners some help. Bogosian led the Sabres with seven shots on goal and also added five hits and two blocked shots in about 27 minutes of ice time. Since joining Buffalo, the former third overall selection has averaged 26:57 in ice time and has been a productive source of PIM, hits and blocks. Mar 3 |
| 4 | Nikita Zadorov ActiveNikita Zadorov was back in the lineup on Saturday. He picked up an assist and logged 15:09 of ice time in Buffalo's 5-3 loss to Florida. Zadorov hadn't played since Feb. 19 and he was scratched for the last two games after he arrived late for a team meeting. Mar 2 |
| 5 | Mike Weber ActiveMike Weber (upper body) will surprisingly be back in the lineup Thursday night when Buffalo plays Vancover. He was injured on Feb. 20 against the Rangers and was originally projected to miss two weeks, but he'll be back in far ahead of that timetable. Weber has 121 hits and 109 blocks in 48 games this season, but he doesn't contribute in any other categories to warrant fantasy attention. Feb 26 |
| 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 Tyson Strachan against the Ottaw Senators on Tuesday night. "We weren't too happy with one part of our defensive corps last game," Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. "So Meszaros is going to get in. He's an experienced guy playing against his ex-team; you never know. So that was the reason why." Meszaros doesn't ring in with much fantasy value, he has a goal and six points with 28 PIMs through 34 games thus far. Strachan for his part is no better, with five points and 28 PIMs in 30 games. Feb 10 |
| 8 | Tyson Strachan ActiveTyson Strachan returned to practice on Friday. He had been sidelined for games this week due to an infection but appears to be healthy enough to resume playing. Strachan's return to the Buffalo lineup should, should it come Saturday afternoon, will not have any fantasy impact. Feb 28 |
| G | 1 | Chad Johnson ActiveChad Johnson will make his Buffalo debut on Friday versus Ottawa. Anders Lindback turned aside 32 of the 35 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay, but now it will be Johnson's turn. The two of them will probably share starts for the rest of the season. Mar 5 |
| 2 | Anders Lindback ActiveAnders Lindback allowed three goals on 35 shots Tuesday, but was saddled with a loss in a 3-0 shutout against Tampa Bay. Lindback suffered through a disastrous stretch in Dallas playing behind Kari Lehtonen and had not seen the ice since February 7th entering Tuesday's action. His overall record now stands at 2-9-0 while his GAA is 3.65 and his save percentage is .880. Mar 3 |
