Sabres' Josh Dunne: Dropped to minors

Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Wednesday.

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.
