Askarov has been recalled from the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Vitek Vanecek was hit by an arrant puck while on the bench in Tuesday's game and did not return, meaning he might miss some time given Askaro'v call-up. Askarov was excellent in a two-game stint with the Sharks earlier this season, posting a 1.96 GAA and .927 SV% in two games (1-0-1). The 22-year-old netminder was the 11th overall pick of the Nashville Predators in the 20202 NHL Entry Draft and has been dialed in at the AHL level most of the season, posting a superb 2.00 GAA and .938 SV% in 14 games (9-4-1) with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Petrovic has been recalled from Texas (AHL).

With Matt Dumba (upper body) being placed on Injured Reserve, Dallas has recalled Petrovic from Texas (AHL). The 32-year-old Petrovic played two games with Dallas this season but has predominantly been an AHL player, scoring 13 points (4G / 9A) in 21 games with the Texas Stars.

Greaves has been loaned to Cleveland (AHL).

Despite failing to record a victory, Greaves was serviceable for the Blue Jackets, posting a 3.30 GAA and .895 SV% while playing three of the last four games (0-1-2). The 23-year-old Greaves served as a backup with Columbus earlier this season but has predominantly been in the AHL, recording a 3.21 GAA and .902 SV% in 15 games with the Cleveland Monsters (AHL).

Silovs has been assigned to Abbotsford (AHL).

With Thatcher Demko rounding into form after returning from injury, the Canucks have opted to roll with him and Kevin Lankinen as their goaltending tandem, resulting in Silovs being assigned to Abbotsford (AHL). The 23-year-old Silovs has had a rocky 2024-25 campaign with the Canucks, posting a 4.11 GAA and .847 SV% in seven appearances (1-4-1).

Daws has been assigned to Utica (AHL).

Daws was recalled this morning but has already already been returned to the Utica Comets (AHL), indicating that Jake Allen (upper body) is likely ready to return to the lineup. The 23-year-old Daws has some NHL experience, recording a 3.13 GAA and .894 SV% in 46 games (19-22-1).

Nico Daws
Levi has been loaned to Rochester (AHL).

Levi was recalled yesterday and played against the Toronto Maple Leafs, allowing four goals on 40 shots (.900 SV%) in a 5-3 loss. It was his first NHL action since November 16th. The Sabres return to the ice on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens and it is unclear if they may opt to recall Levi again ahead of that contest.

Devon Levi
Bichsel has been recalled from the Texas Stars (AHL).

Bichsel was the 18th overall pick of the Stars in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 20-year-old defenseman is highly regarded in the Dallas system and has played the last two games since Matt Dumba has been out with an upper-body injury. Bichsel is averaging 14:55 time-on-ice, recording one point (0G / 1A) and eight hits in two games.

Lian Bichsel
Poulter has been reassigned to Utica (AHL).

With Jake Allen (upper body) sidelined, Poulter was serving as Jacob Markstrom's backup but will return to Utica (AHL), swapping places with recently recalled Nico Daws. The 23-year-old Poulter has a 3.32 GAA and .871 SV% in nine games (2-4-2) with the Utica Comets (AHL) this season.

Isaac Poulter
Daws has been recalled from Utica (AHL) on Monday.

Isaac Poulter has served as Jacob Markstrom's backup in the past few games, with Jake Allen (upper body) sidelined, but Poulter has been sent down to Utica (AHL), swapping places with Daws. The 23-year-old Daws has some NHL experience, recording a 3.13 GAA and .894 SV% in 46 games (19-22-1), providing a more viable option between the pipes for the Devils if needed.
