Date News Advice
Feb. 15, 2015 Kaleta returned Thursday for the NHL's worst team. Kaleta was out since Feb. 10 after surgery for an undisclosed lower-body injury.
Dec. 22, 2014 Kaleta is out for the Sabres. Kaleta has an illness but there is no word on whether it is the mumps.
Nov. 18, 2014 Kaleta was snowed in and unable to make the team's game against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. Kaleta lives in Hamburg, a town about a 20-minute drive south of Buffalo, where a severe lake effect snowstorm was dumping more than 4 feet of snow since Monday night. Coach Ted Nolan announced Kaleta's absence a few hours before the game began. Sabres assistant GM Mark Jakubowski and head athletic trainer Tim Macre, who also live south of Buffalo, were also unable to attend the game.
Oct. 7, 2014 Kaleta played in his first NHL game since Oct. 10, 2013, on Thursday. The Buffalo winger missed most of last season with a knee injury and missed Buffalo's first 17 games this season after taking a puck to the face in preseason.
Nov. 2, 2013 The Buffalo Sabres have placed right wing Patrick Kaleta on waivers. Kaleta was eligible to return to the Sabres lineup after serving a 10-game suspension for a high hit on Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson on Oct. 10. During his suspension, Kaleta had expressed a desire to change a playing style that's found him suspended or fined six times in his career, including a five-game suspension in March for a hit from behind on Brad Richards of the New York Rangers. If no other team claims Kaleta on waivers, he will be eligible to report to Buffalo's American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester, N.Y.
Oct. 17, 2013 Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta is appealing a 10-game suspension the NHL issued for an illegal check to the head of Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson last week. The appeal was filed Wednesday evening by the NHL Players' Association on the player's behalf. The league hasn't yet announced when the appeal will be heard. If the suspension is upheld, Kaleta would have the option to take his case to neutral discipline arbitrator James Oldham. Kaleta will have served four games of the suspension after sitting out Buffalo's home game against Vancouver on Thursday. Kaleta stands to lose $152,439 in salary if he misses the entire 10 games. In making its ruling Tuesday, the league's Department of Player Safety took into account that Kaleta had been suspended three previous times.
Oct. 12, 2013 Kaleta has been suspended by the NHL for 10 games for an illegal check to the head of Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson last week. The punishment, which will cost Kaleta $152,439 in lost salary, was handed down Tuesday by the league's Department of Player Safety. Kaleta is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players' association.
April 23, 2013 Kaleta has been out since blocking a shot with his right hand against the New York Rangers on April 19. Kaleta is questionable for the Sabres' final two games, according to the team's official website.
March 4, 2013 The NHL suspended Buffalo's Kaleta for five games Monday, its stiffest punishment of the season. The Sabres forward shoved Rangers center Brad Richards from behind and into the boards on Sunday night. The suspension will cost the gritty right winger more than $72,000 in salary, and he won't be eligible to return until March 17, when the Sabres play at Washington. The ruling came down a day after Kaleta blindsided Richards in the back and sent him sliding headfirst into the boards in the third period of Buffalo's 3-2 shootout loss at New York.
Jan. 29, 2013 Kaleta remains out with a neck injury. Kaleta, who has a history of head and neck problems, was boarded by Toronto's Mike Brown, who was assessed a minor penalty for the play Jan. 29. Kaleta skated off awkwardly with 2:26 left in the period and did not return.
July 31, 2012 The Buffalo Sabres have agreed to re-sign Kaleta to a multiyear contract. Kaleta was a restricted free agent, whose rights were retained by the Sabres in June when they extended him a qualifying offer. From nearby Angola, N.Y., Kaleta has played four full seasons with the Sabres after being selected by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 2004 draft. He had five goals and 10 points, and a career-high 116 penalty minutes in 63 games last season.
March 21, 2012 Kaleta missed Wednesday's game with Montreal because of an upper-body injury. It is uncertain how much time he will miss.
March 11, 2012 Kaleta left the Sabres' 4-3 shootout win over Ottawa with a neck injury. There are few details surrounding the injury. Kaleta is considered day-to-day.
Jan. 14, 2012 Kaleta had two assists in a 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night. It was the fourth career multipoint performance for the winger and first since March 2, 2010. Kaleta had two goals in his first 26 games this season.
Dec. 9, 2011 Kaleta has a lower-body injury for the Sabres. Kaleta is expected to miss some action.
Nov. 3, 2011 Kaleta has been suspended four games by the NHL for a head-butt. The incident involved Philadelphia's Jakub Voracek in the first period of a 3-2 loss to the Flyers on Wednesday night. The suspension was announced Thursday after Kaleta's hearing with new NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan. Shanahan, who has taken a hard stance against head hits in his first year on the job, noted in a video announcing the suspension on NHL.com that this is the third such incident involving Kaleta in less than two years.
Oct. 28, 2011 Kaleta had a goal in Buffalo's win over Columbus on Thursday. It was his first point of the season.
