Dunne registered an assist and four hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Dunne has slipped into a part-time role over the last week, getting scratched in two of the Sabres' last five games. The 26-year-old fills a fourth-line role when he plays, though he may sit more often if Jordan Greenway can stay healthy. Dunne has earned three points, 14 shots on net, 27 PIM, 21 hits and a minus-3 rating across 17 appearances this season, surpassing his total of NHL games from his first three campaigns combined.

Dunne scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was summoned from AHL Rochester on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was promoted from AHL Rochester on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was placed on waivers Sunday to be assigned to AHL Rochester.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Friday, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was promoted from AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dunne was recalled by Buffalo on an emergency basis Friday.

EDGE Analysis

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.
