Date News Advice
Oct. 29, 2025 Dunne scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets. - Dunne's first career goal came against the team that gave him his NHL debut in 2020-21. The 26-year-old has a goal, five shots, six hits and a plus-1 rating over four appearances this season. He's helping the Sabres cover some injury absences, but Dunne will likely have to head back to AHL Rochester once the Sabres get healthier. None
Oct. 25, 2025 Dunne was summoned from AHL Rochester on Saturday. - Tyson Kozak (lower body) won't play Saturday against Toronto after exiting Friday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs. Dunne's promotion gives the team 13 healthy forwards on the roster. He might spend the rematch against Toronto in the press box, but he could plug into the lineup in a bottom-six capacity if Buffalo wants to rest a forward. Dunne has no points and three hits in two appearances with the Sabres in 2025-26. None
Oct. 22, 2025 Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Wednesday. - Dunne's demotion could be an indication that Beck Malenstyn (personal) will rejoin the team for Wednesday's clash with the Red Wings. In his two outings this season, the 26-year-old Dunne failed to register a point while notching three hits and one shot in only 6:30 of ice time. He hasn't recorded a point in 18 career NHL outings. Given his offensive limitations, Dunne figures to spend the bulk of the campaign in the minors. None
Oct. 10, 2025 Dunne was promoted from AHL Rochester on Friday. - Dunne's elevation to the main roster doesn't bode well for the availability of Josh Norris (upper body) ahead of Saturday's clash with the Bruins. In his two games with the Sabres last year, the 26-year-old Dunne registered five hits, five PIM and one shot but zero points. Even if Norris can't play Saturday, Dunne is far from a lock to make the lineup, especially if Zach Benson (face) is good to go. None
Oct. 5, 2025 Dunne was placed on waivers Sunday to be assigned to AHL Rochester. - Dunne notched 10 goals and 29 points in 68 regular-season games for AHL Rochester in 2024-25. He hasn't earned an NHL point in 16 career regular-season appearances. None
March 28, 2025 Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Friday, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News. - Dunne saw fourth line minutes Thursday, only playing 6:55 in a 7-3 win over Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old had nine goals, 17 assists and 44 PIM in 58 AHL games this season. None
March 25, 2025 Dunne was promoted from AHL Rochester on Tuesday. - Dunne has nine goals, 26 points and 44 PIM in 58 outings with Rochester this season. He's also appeared in one game with Buffalo in 2024-25, recording no points, five PIM, four hits and one blocked shot in 7:16 of ice time. Buffalo now has at least 12 healthy forwards available for Tuesday's clash against Ottawa, even if Jiri Kulich (concussion) is unable to play. None
March 13, 2025 Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday. - The 26-year-old has played in one game at the NHL level this season, picking up a five-minute major for fighting, four hits and a shot on goal in 7:16 of action versus Florida on March 8. Dunne had eight goals, 16 assists and 44 PIM across 54 contests with Rochester before his recall. None
March 7, 2025 Dunne was recalled by Buffalo on an emergency basis Friday. - Jordan Greenwayand Jack Quinn are both questionable for Saturday's clash against Florida due to illness, and the Sabres might also be without Jason Zucker (lower body), so Dunne might be needed. He has eight goals, 24 points and 44 PIM in 54 appearances with AHL Rochester in 2024-25. None
Oct. 1, 2024 Dunne landed on the waiver wire Tuesday, PuckPedia reports. - Dunne has logged an NHL game since the 2022-23 season when he made eight appearances for the Blue Jackets in which he generated four shots, six PIM and 19 hits. Through 14 professional outings, the 25-year-old center has yet to register a point. If he passes through waivers, Dunne will link up with AHL Rochester for the start of the season. None
July 1, 2024 Dunne signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Sabres on Monday. - Dunne had two goals and seven points in 25 regular-season contests with AHL Cleveland in 2023-24.

June 14, 2023 Dunne signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, per PuckPedia. - Dunne got into eight games for the Blue Jackets this year, but he failed to record a point while filling a bottom-six role over that span. The team's bad injury luck played a part in him getting NHL time -- if Columbus is healthier in 2023-24, Dunne will likely see most of his action with AHL Cleveland, where he had 37 points in 65 contests in 2022-23. None
April 12, 2023 Dunne was sent back to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Dunne failed to register a point against the Flyers on Tuesday, extending his career-long pointless streak to 14 contests.

The Missouri-born center has been significantly more productive in the minors, racking up 20 goals and 17 helpers in 62 games this season. With several forwards dealing with injuries, Dunne could slot into a bottom-six role against the Flyers on Tuesday. None
April 7, 2023 Dunne was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Dunne was unable to pick up a point in seven NHL games this season, after not hitting the scoresheet in six contests in 2021-22.

Dec. 19, 2022 Dunne was called up from AHL Cleveland on Monday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - The Blue Jackets moved Boone Jenner (thumb) to injured reserve in a corresponding move.
