Gilmour did not appear in a game during his most recent call-up. Lawrence Pilut will take his spot on the roster with Gilmour returning to the AHL, where he has 13 points (6G / 7A) in 32 games this season.

Pilut has not recorded a point in 11 NHL games this season but has 23 points (6G / 17A) in 37 games with Rochester. The 24-year-old could remain with the Sabres through the remainder of the season and could be an important part of their playoff push.

Kase will play for the first time since February 7th and the first time in a Bruins uniform. Kase, who has just seven goals in 49 games, had impressive shot volume (2.8 SOG/gm) while playing under 17 minutes per game in Anaheim. Skating on the second line with David Krejci should help Kase maintain that shot volume and maybe improve on it, making him a strong waiver wire pickup.
