by from on (#3KTXK)
Alexander Nylander is getting a late-season audition.
The 20-year-old forward was recalled from the AHL's Rochester Americans on Tuesday and could get into the Sabres' lineup for their three remaining regular-season games.
In 48 contests with the Americans this year, Nylander has notched seven goals and 19 assists. He made his NHL debut with the Sabres last season, appearing in four games, in which he picked up one assist.
The Sabres' next game comes Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators.
Nylander, selected with the eighth pick in the 2016 draft, is the younger brother of William Nylander of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
