Ristolainen was just sent back to Rochester because Tyler Myers was ready to go Tuesday. However, Myers suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's contest, thus Ristolainen has been recalled and will likely dress tonight.
Ristolainen played in five games during his call-up. He was a minus-5 with 12 shots but failed to register a point. He will return to Rochester because Tyler Myers is ready to return to the lineup. Myers has 18 points (6G / 12A) in 30 AHL games.
The Panthers selected Wilson, 23, in the fourth-round (107th overall) in 2009. He has split the last three seasons between the San Antonio Rampage (AHL) and Cincinnati Cyclones (ECHL). He had 12 goals and 12 assists in 60 games before being recalled. He will skate on the fourth line with Scott Gomez and Krys Barch.
Wilson, 23, has appeared in 60 games for San Antonio this season, collecting 24 points (12G / 12A) and 45 penalty minutes. He has played in 97 career AHL game over three seasons with the Rampage (2011-14), recording 30 points (16G / 14A) and 66 penalty minutes. Wilson has yet to appear in an NHL game.
Ristolainen, 19, has one goal in 19 games with the Sabres this season. The 2013 eighth overall pick has six goals and 12 assists (18 points) in 30 games with Rochester.
Thompson is listed as day-to-day, he is not fantasy relevant, he has nine points (3G / 6A) in 46 games.
Glendening will get a shot to play in the Winter Classic on Wednesday. He has recorded one assist with a minus-7 rating in 16 games with the Red Wings.
With Helm set to return, Glendening was able to be optioned back to the minors.
Glendening has no points and a minus-3 rating in nine games with the Red Wings. With Cory Emmerton going the other way Glendening will very likely be in the lineup on Saturday.
Ristolainen suffered a concussion after being sucker-punched in the AHL, but he will likely play for Finland in the World Juniors. The 8th overall in the 2013 NHL Draft recorded one goal in 19 games with the Sabres. He has recorded two goals and two assists in five games since being sent to Rochester (AHL).
Ristolainen was the eighth overall pick in this year's NHL Draft, but will head to Rochester for seasoning. The Sabres don't appear to be a playoff team so allowing their young talent to develop in Rochester is a logical move for the Sabres future. Ristolainen is known more for his defence than his offence, he had one goal in 19 games.
Glendening doesn't expect to have much fantasy significance in his return to the big club.
Glendening play 9:46 and 10:06 in two contests during his most recent call-up. He did not record a point and was a minus-1. This move likely suggests Tomas Tatar will play after it appeared he was set to be a healthy scratch tonight. It also means that Johan Franzen shifts to centre on the second line and Darren Helm drops down to his regular spot centring the third line.
Glendening has no points and a minus-2 rating in six games with the Red Wings this season. He has split time between the NHL and AHL, he has three goals and three assists in eight games with Grand Rapids. The Wings are dealing with injuries down the middle right now, Glendening could see his most playing time of the season tomorrow in Tampa Bay.
With Johan Franzen set to return tomorrow, Glendening has been reassigned to the Griffins.
Glendening has not recorded a point in five games with the Red Wings this season. In the AHL he has scored once and added two assists in five games. With Johan Franzen dealing with an injury, Glendening has been recalled to provide forward depth on their western Canada road-trip.
Glendening had no points and a minus-1 rating in five games with Detroit. He'll return to the Griffins where he has two assists in two games.
Rasmus Ristolainen, selected eighth overall in June, will return to the blue line tonight when the Sabres visit the New York Islanders. Ristolainen was minus-3 in the opening six games before getting scratched for Monday's 2-1 loss to Minnesota.
McBain will stay in the lineup while Ristolainen takes a seat. The 2012, 8th overall pick has no points and a minus-3 rating in six games.
Glendenning has two assists in two games with Grand Rapids.
