The Buffalo Sabres announced this morning that they’ve recalled Scott Wedgewood from the Rochester Amerks. Linus Ullmark didn’t practice yesterday due to being sick. Wedgewood will serve as the back tonight behind Carter Hutton when the Sabres host the Boston Bruins.
This is Wedgewood’s second call up this season with the Sabres. Played for the Amerks last night in a 5-1 win over the Toronto Marlies. He has 2.78 goals against average and a .916 save percentage in 20 games in the AHL this season.
The Amerks play again tonight, but with Wedgewood starting last night he would have been the back up tonight anyways.
