I wonder if that’s due to Pilut’s recent return from rehab. Might still need a bit more conditioning.interesting we recalled Borgen and not Pilut
Better not be..Him and Samuelsson are what the D needs to go along with Dahlin, Joker,etcWeird that they would recall a rhd. Isn't that the logjam position? Maybe showcasing him for trade as he is not a Botts guy.
I’m guessing they’re angling for more toughness. There is a need.Weird that they would recall a rhd. Isn't that the logjam position? Maybe showcasing him for trade as he is not a Botts guy.
Not all that interesting. Pilut is still conditioning in the Roc. Probably going to be a couple of weeks until he's ready.interesting we recalled Borgen and not Pilut

Paul Hamilton expects Gilmour will be in the lineup, as per @joshjull 's post in the PGT thread.Isn't Gilmour still up? Does Krueger like to keep 7 D available at all times? Or is Borgen expected to play?
SABRES RECALL WILLIAM BORGEN

The Buffalo Sabres have recalled defenseman William Borgen from the Rochester Americans (AHL).
Highlights:
- Totaled 14 points (3G, 11A) in 71 AHL games with the Rochester Americans during his first full professional season in 2018-19.
- Made his NHL debut with Buffalo on March 26, 2019 at Ottawa and appeared in four NHL games in 2018-19, averaging 16:33 of ice time per game.
- Was previously recalled by the Sabres on Friday, Oct. 25 to join the team in Detroit.
Teams using LTIR space can't bank cap space, so I don't think the latter point is relevant. It's probably just a matter of wanting to have an extra body around on game days, but still letting him play in the AHL since they aren't planning on actually playing him with Buffalo right now.Interesting to see them make sure he's available for the Amerk-Crunch game, then bring him back up. It also saves the daily payroll.
