Matt D'Agostini didn't practice on Wednesday because of an illness. It's still possible that D'Agostini will be available on Thursday, but we'll list him as day-to-day for now. He has an assist in 10 games this season.

Matt D'Agostini will make his Buffalo Sabres' debut on Friday. D'Agostini was claimed off waivers on Wednesday. He's projected to play on the second line with Ville Leino and captain Steve Ott.

Matt D'Agostini is looking forward to getting a fresh start in Buffalo. He is looking at an opportunity to come in and prove himself. The Sabres are expected to give him a chance to recaptured the form he had when he scored 21 goals and posted 46 points in 82 games with St. Louis in 2010-11. "To get a guy like him, it's fortunate for us and we'll see if we can get his career back going," said interim coach Ted Nolan. "When you get a goal scorer, you've got to put him in position to score some goals. Hopefully, that will help." D'Agostini is slated to play with Steve Ott and Ville Leino in his Buffalo debut against Toronto on Friday night.

Matt D'Agostini looks like he'll play with Steve Ott and Ville Leino when he plays for the Buffalo Sabres. He was claimed off waivers on Wednesday and could make his debut with his new squad on Friday against Toronto. D'Agostini still shouldn't be on your fantasy radar, but there's a slim chance that he could be worth monitoring.

Matt D'Agostini will not make his Buffalo Sabres debut on Wednesday. The Sabres claimed D'Agostini off of waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has an assist in eight games this season.

Matt D'Agostini has been claimed off of waivers by the Buffalo Sabres. D'Agostini has an assist in eight games with Pittsburgh this season. This move should lead to him getting more playing time, but not to the point where he would be worth owning in standard leagues.

Matt D'Agostini has been placed on waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins. D'Agostini has an assist in eight games this season. He had 46 points in 82 games in 2010-11 with St. Louis, but hasn't done much offensively since then.

Penguins right winger Matt D'Agostini scored in 31 of his 47 career NHL games while playing for the Blues. Given that the Penguins play in St. Louis today, Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma admitted that D'Agostini might be reinstated into the Penguins' lineup. The right wing has been a healthy scratch during the past four games after missing the first three weeks of the season with a lower-body injury. "There is some thought to him - being that this is his former team, before (he played for) New Jersey - yes, that goes into it," Bylsma said. "We're going to go with the lineup that gives us the best chance to win the game."

Matt D'Agostini cannot believe he's playing on the same line with Evgeni Malkin. That will change once James Neal and Beau Bennett return to action but for now the right winger is enjoying himself. "He likes to have the puck, and he has it for long stretches of time," D'Agostini said of Malkin. "I think it's just a matter of getting to open areas when you're playing with him. Just go to the net, go to spots. He'll find you." D'Agostini missed the first 10 games of the season with a lower body injury. He has some fantasy value until Neal returns.

Matt D'Agostini played right wing on the second line Saturday. He lined up alongside Evgeni Malkin as D'Agostini played in his first game this season after returning from a lower body injury. As James Neal is still out of action with no return date scheduled, look for D'Agostini to get some more time on Malkin's wing and as a result, he could be worth a waiver wire pick up in deep drafts.
