Another day, another call-up for the Buffalo Sabres. On Monday the team recalled both Casey Nelson and Brady Austin from AHL Rochester.
The recall is Austin's first of his career. The 2012 draft pick has nine points [2G,7A] in 61 games with the Amerks this season.
Nelson returns for his third recall of the season. In nine games played with the Sabres this season, Nelson has no points and a minus-four plus/minus rating.
