The Sabres recalled Grigorenko from AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

Analysis:

With forwards Chris Stewart, Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn having been dealt by the team at the NHL trade deadline, the Sabres have recalled the trio of Grigorenko, Tim Schaller and Jerry D'Amigo. Grigorenko has recorded just two points in 12 games with the big club to date this season, but if the ice time is there for him down the stretch, the 20-year-old could carve out some deep-league fantasy utility. The Sabres are without top center Zemgus Girgensons and had been using Mitchell in that spot, but now that both are unavailable, Grigorenko will likely slide into the role of a top-six forward. His has tremendous upside given his talent, but the Sabres are a weak squad that won't score very often.
