Matthew Savoie News

The Sabres selected Savoie with the No.9 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and he appeared in on NHL games with them last season. He won a WHL Championship with Moose Jaw, scoring 47 points (19G / 28A) in 23 regular season games and 24 points (10G / 14A) in 19 playoff games. During his brief time in the AHL last season, he had five points (2G / 3A) in six games. Given all of the offseason additions the Oilers made up front, it seems unlikely that Savoie will make the team out of training camp and acquiring him was a move with an eye on the future.

Savoie is one of the Sabres' most intriguing prospects after being draft as a first-round pick of the 2022 NHL Draft (9th overall) and is set to make his debut Friday vs. Minnesota. The 19-year-old centre appeared for five games for Rochester (AHL) earlier this season and had two goals, three assists, and six PIMs in six games played.

Savoie has been recalled from the Rochester Americans of the AHL, coinciding with Brandon Biro being placed on the injured reserve Monday morning. Savoie scored five points (2G / 3A) in six games with Rochester.
