Samuelsson gone for season

None is likely to bring more than a low draft choice or future considerations. https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2024/02/04/nhl-rumours-penguins-sab…
Zach gets more chances
The Sabres rookie has been promoted. Apparently, they aren’t calling up anyone to replace Quinn. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/mature-game-helping-sabres-rookie-zach-benson-earn-keep-in-nhl/
