Varone was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Saturday. Varone turned in an impressive three-game stint with the Sabres, highlighted by a two-goal showing against the Hurricanes in a loss Thursday. His demotion signals that Torrey Mitchell (foot) could be ready to play in time for the Sabres' next game Tuesday, lessening the need for the team to keep Varone around. However, given how well he played during his first exposure to the NHL this season, expect him to get another call-up in the near future.
