Lieuwen was called up Friday and will backup Chad Johnson against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

AHL Rochester has been rotating three goalies all season and Lieuwen leads the team in appearances (26), wins (14) and goals-against average (2.86). The 24-year-old former sixth-round pick has seven NHL games under his belt but has yet to make an appearance for the Sabres this season despite getting called up in October when Robin Lehner (lower body) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the season opener. Head coach Dan Bylsma said Lieuwen will be with the team for the next two games, which means that he may see some game action.
