BUFFALO – The Sabres sent forwards William Carrier, Cal O’Reilly and Cole Schneider back to the Rochester Americans on Saturday.
All three played for the AHL club later in the day against the Albany Devils.
The Sabres, who had Saturday off and don’t play again until Tuesday, have limited salary cap space, so sending players down between games helps save some money.
O’Reilly and Schneider rank third and fourth in AHL scoring.
