Date News Advice
April 16, 2024 Rousek was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Tuesday. - Rousek will finish his 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Americans, who have already secured their spot in the Calder Cup playoffs. With the Sabres this season, the 24-year-old winger failed to find the back of the net in 15 appearances while registering just two assists, four shots and five hits. Looking ahead to next season, Rousek will likely see more game action, but fantasy players probably should still expect him to spend some time in the minors again. None
April 2, 2024 Rousek (face) will be in the lineup Tuesday against Washington, per Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald. - Rousek has played nine games with the big club this year, recording two assists and four shots on goal. The 24-year-old will enter his third season next year and look to start on the big club following training camp next fall. None
March 30, 2024 Rousek (face) won't play Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. - Rousek was injured during Tuesday's practice and is set for a third straight absence. With Jack Quinn back in action, there's no guarantee there will be a spot for Rousek even when he's cleared to play again. The Sabres' next game is Tuesday against the Capitals. None
March 29, 2024 Rousek (face) will not suit up Friday against New Jersey, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. - Rousek was injured during Tuesday's practice and will now miss his second straight game. His next chance to get back in the lineup will be Saturday against Toronto. None
March 27, 2024 Rousek (face) is expected to need a couple of days to recover after being injured in Tuesday's practice, coach Don Granato told Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550. The 24-year-old forward is consequently unavailable Wednesday versus Ottawa. - Rousek has two assists in nine contests this season. Jack Quinn's expected return from a lower-body injury coincidentally corresponds with Rousek's exit from the lineup. None
March 26, 2024 Rousek (face) is being evaluated after leaving Tuesday's practice, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports. - Rousek appeared to suffer a cut to his face during Tuesday's session.

March 8, 2024 Rousek was assigned to AHL Rochester on Friday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. - Rousek has only played six games for the Sabres this season and hasn't recorded a point.

June 21, 2023 Rousek signed a two-year contract with the Sabres on Tuesday, per CapFriendly. - The first year of the deal is two-way, while the second year is one-way. Rousek took a step forward with 56 points in 70 regular-season games and another 12 points in 14 playoff outings for AHL Rochester last year, and he added two points in two contests with the Sabres.

March 27, 2023 Rousek was recalled from AHL Rochester on Monday. - Rousek's return to the roster doesn't bode well for the availability of Jordan Greenway (upper body) or Vinnie Hinostroza (personal) against the Canadiens on Monday.
