Dustin Tokarski - Sent to AHLThe Sabres demoted Tokarski to AHL Rochester on Friday.
ImpactTokarski was recalled Thursday to give the Sabres an extra goaltender at practice. Tokarski was 7-7-2 with a 3.32 GAA and an .893 in 18 AHL appearances. He will back up Devon Levi at Rochester.

Tyson Jost - Returned to minorsJost was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Friday.
ImpactJost was recalled earlier in the week and was a healthy scratch in all three games. He has two goals and four points in 29 NHL games this season, as well as three goals and 13 points in 23 games with the Amerks.

Rasmus Dahlin - Nets OT winnerDahlin scored in overtime to give the Sabres a 3-2 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
ImpactThe overtime winner was Dahlin's 15th tally of the season, matching his career best mark from last year in 19 fewer games. He's a workhorse on the blue line and is providing plenty of offense, even if he isn't on pace to match his impressive 58-assist total from last year.

Alex Tuch - Tallies in comeback winTuch scored in Buffalo's 3-2 overtime win against Tampa Bay on Thursday.
ImpactTuch tallied his 17th goal of the campaign. It would be easy to see this season as a disappointment after he scored 36 goals last year. However, this season's 13 percent shooting percentage is still above his career average. This is the kind of production fantasy managers should probably expect from the big winger.
MARCH 1ROTOWIRE
Brayden Point - Stretches points streak to eightPoint scored on the power play Thursday as the Lightning suffered a 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
ImpactThat goal puts Point's point streak at eight games. Over that span, he's got six goals and 10 points. He might not hit last season's impressive 51-goal total, but at 31 goals and 64 points through 62 games, he's having yet another great campaign.
MARCH 1ROTOWIRE
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Makes 21 saves in winLuukkonen stopped 21 of the Lightning's 23 shots to grab a 3-2 overtime win Thursday.
ImpactLuukkonen continued a nice run with Thursday's win, a game in which he only allowed one goal at five-on-five. That .913 save percentage is worst mark over the last five starts. That's a pretty good spot to be. If that span is expanded to the last eight games, he's been below that just once. The Sabres are unlikely to make the postseason, but Luukkonen has rewarded fantasy managers who start him.
