Sabres' Erik Burgdoerfer: Sent down to AHL
Burgdoerfer was reassigned to the minors Thursday.
Analysis:
Burgdoerfer will head back to AHL Rochester after competing in two games for the Sabres in which he averaged 11:10 of ice time, registering two shots on goal and five hits. The 27-year-old's demotion is a good sign that one or more of Buffalo's four injured defensemen will be healthy enough to slot back into the lineup Friday.
