The Buffalo Sabres have loaned defenseman Lawrence Pilut to the Rochester Americans, the team announced Wednesday.
The Sabres recalled Pilut on Tuesday as an extra defenseman for their road game against the New York Islanders. Defensemen Mattias Samuelsson and Riley Stillman were both unavailable for that game and are considered day to day with upper-body injuries.

The Sabres are off Wednesday. They host the Dallas Stars at KeyBank Center on Thursday.
Pilut has 19 points (3+16) in 30 games with the Amerks this season. Rochester opens a three-in-three weekend at home against Hartford on Friday.
