The Sabres have recalled Jake McCabe from Rochester (AHL).

McCabe, 21, has scored four goals and 21 assists (25 points) in 49 games with Rochester this season. McCabe will make his season debut tonight with Nikita Zadorov out for discipline reasons. McCabe had one assist in seven games with the Sabres last season.

The Flyers recalled Anthony Stolarz from Lehigh Valley (AHL).

Stolarz, 21, was a second-round pick (45th overall) of the Flyers in 2012. He has gone 7-10-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .911 SV% in his rookie season with Lehigh Valley. He is likely not ready to play in the NHL, but with Steve Mason out at the NHL level and Rob Zepp out at the AHL level, the Flyers did not have a choice. He will back-up Ray Emery on Tuesday.

Pacioretty (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.

Pacioretty took part in the morning skate, just two days after being hospitalized with an upper-body injury. He was crunched by Clayton Stoner on Thursday and was sent to the hospital as a pre-caution. He has shown an incredible ability to heal in the past, so don’t be surprised to see him in the lineup tonight vs. Ottawa. Monitor his status during warmups at 6:30 PM ET.

Pacioretty was sent to the hospital after leaving Thursday’s game with an upper-body injury.

Pacioretty was crunched into the boards by Ducks’ defenseman Clayton Stoner on Thursday night. Pacioretty left the game and did not return because he was sent to the hospital for precautionary reasons. There was no update on his status post game, so his availability for Saturday’s game is unknown. Consider him questionable until a detailed update is released.

Scott Laughton was recalled on Tuesday and will make his season debut on Wednesday.

Laughton, 20, was the Flyers first round pick (20th overall) in 2012. He had registered 11 points (6G / 5A) in 13 games prior to yesterday’s recall. He will skate on the Flyers’ third line with Vincent Lecavalier and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.
