Rosen scored two goals in AHL Rochester's 4-3 overtime loss to Utica on Wednesday.
Rosen continues to dominate the AHL, and he's earned three goals and an assist over three outings since returning from a stint with the Sabres. For the season, he has eight goals and 16 points through 11 appearances. Rosen's continued success on offense should keep him near the front of the line for future call-ups.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Headed for AHL
Rotowire
Rosen was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Sunday, per the NHL media site.
The return of Zach Benson (lower body) from a 10-game absence has pushed Rosen out of the lineup and out of the NHL for now. The 22-year-old Rosen had been producing at a solid clip, registering seven points (three goals, four assists) in 10 games. He'll return to the AHL, where he dominated before his call-up with 12 points in eight games.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Nets both goals in loss
Rotowire
Rosen scored twice and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Mammoth.
Rosen's scoring touch earned him a promotion from AHL Rochester, and it's starting to show at the NHL level. He earned his first multi-goal game, but he's picked up three tallies and one helper through five outings so far. He's added eight shots on net, four blocked shots, three hits and a plus-1 rating. Rosen is getting a look in a middle-six role with power-play time while Zach Benson (lower body) and Jason Zucker (illness) are both out. If Rosen keeps playing well, he may be here to stay at the NHL level.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Scores first NHL goal
Rotowire
Rosen tallied a goal, put three shots on net, blocked two attempts and dished out two hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.
Rosen's first chance at NHL action this season didn't disappoint, as he netted his first career goal to give the Sabres a 3-2 lead before the end of the first period. His category coverage with a bundle of shots, blocks and hits earned him the second star of the game. Not only did Rosen fit right in on Buffalo's third line, but he was also inserted into the team's first power-play unit, as he finished the contest with just under four minutes skating with a man advantage. While Rosen's move up from AHL Rochester was done in response to Buffalo placing winger Zach Benson on IR with a lower-body injury, a few more performances like these could keep Rosen at the NHL level beyond Benson's return. Rosen is an intriguing stash in deeper leagues if he can start to string together points.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Stays hot for Rochester
Rotowire
Rosen scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Rochester's 7-4 win over Urica.
Rosen is off to a sizzling start with six points across three AHL games this season. All three of his goals have come on the power play. The 22-year-old still needs some development time in the AHL, but if he continues to play at a high level, he could challenge Josh Dunne, Tyson Kozak or Mason Geertsen for their spots on the Sabres' roster.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Earns first career point
Rotowire
Rosen logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Penguins.
The helper was Rosen's first point in 12 career games over the last two seasons. The 22-year-old has had humble beginnings as he struggles to stick with the big club, and he may be heading back to AHL Rochester once the Sabres get some other forwards back from injuries. With Rochester, he's produced 54 points in 55 contests, so his scoring touch is evident; he just needs a bit more time to develop.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Emergency call-up Friday
Rotowire
Rosen was called up from AHL Rochester under emergency conditions Friday.
Rosen gets a call-up because the Sabres could be short at forward for Saturday's game versus the Panthers. Jack Quinn and Jordan Greenway both left Thursday's game against the Lightning due to illness, and there's some doubt they'll be able to suit up Saturday.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Shipped back to minors
Rotowire
Rosen was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Friday.
Rosen's demotion clears the way for Tyson Kozak (illness) to be activated off injured reserve ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Predators. For his part, the 21-year-old Rosen has logged just two NHL games with the Sabres this season in which he notched one shot and a minus-1 rating while failing to get on the scoresheet. In fact, in nine appearances over the past two years, Rosen has yet to record his first NHL point.

Rosen made his NHL debut with the Sabres last year and tallied two blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while averaging 8:35 of ice time over seven appearances with the club.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: World Junior bound
Rotowire
Rosen was loaned to the Swedish national team for the 2023 World Junior Championship by the Sabres on Monday.
Rosen made the jump to North America this season, linking up with AHL Rochester after having previously played exclusively in his native Sweden. With the Americans, the 2021 first-round pick has garnered three goals, 12 assists and a minus-8 rating in 25 games. While unlikely to become a full-time NHL option this year, Rosen could certainly make his league debut this year if he continues scoring in the minors.
