Newark, N.J. (WGR 550) – The Buffalo Sabres have called up their two leading scorers from the Rochester Americans. Jiri Kulich and Isak Rosen have joined the team in New Jersey for Saturday’s game against the Devils.
Rosen is the AHL’s fifth-leading scorer with eight goals and 11 assists for 19 points. Rosen scored the overtime winner for the Amerks on Friday night against the Laval Rocket.
Kulich is 10th in the league with 11 goals and six assists for 17 points.
Both forwards are former first-round picks of the Sabres. Rosen was selected 14th overall in the 2021 NHL Draft, while Kulich was taken with the 28th overall selection in the 2022 NHL Draft.
Kulich and Rosen will both make their NHL debuts.
Zemgus Girgensons was injured in Friday’s game and is considered week-to-week.
Meanwhile, Jordan Greenway is away from the team for personal reasons. He’s expected to be back in a few days, but not in time to play on this trip.
Join Pat Malacaro and myself for pregame coverage on WGR starting at 6 p.m. EST when you’ll hear from Don Granato, Peyton Krebs and Ryan Johnson.
