The Sabres recalled Makarov from AHL Rochester on Monday.
Analysis:
With Matt Hackett absent from the team's morning skate, look for Makarov to back up Anders Lindback on Monday night against the Coyotes. Exactly why Hackett missed the morning skate is unknown, but if he is out long-term, look for Makarov to get a few looks as he auditions for a future role. The undrafted Russian is one of the team's best goaltending prospects.
