Rousek was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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 will consequently be unavailable Wednesday versus Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Rousek (face) is being evaluated after leaving Tuesday's practice, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rousek appeared to suffer a cut to his face during Tuesday's session. The 24-year-old forward has two assists and four shots on goal in nine NHL outings this season. If he can't play Wednesday versus Ottawa, Jack Quinn (lower body) or Tyson Jost (undisclosed) might be options to replace Rousek in the lineup.

Rousek was assigned to AHL Rochester on Friday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
EDGE Analysis
Rousek has only played six games for the Sabres this season and hasn't recorded a point. However, this might just be a paper transaction to make Rousek eligible for the AHL playoffs, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the big club ahead of Saturday's game versus Edmonton.
