Rotowire
Neuchev (shoulder) is listed on the Sabres' Prospects Challenge roster and is expected to be healthy for the 2025-26 campaign, per Heather Engel of NHL.com on Tuesday.
After recording seven goals and 22 points across 39 appearances with AHL Rochester in 2024-25, Neuchev's season was cut short in March due to shoulder surgery. The 2022 third-round pick has yet to make his NHL debut, and he'll most likely continue his development with the Americans this year.

Sabres' Viktor Neuchev: Shut down for season
Rotowire
Neuchev underwent season-ending shoulder surgery Thursday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Neuchev -- who was selected by the Sabres in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft -- was putting together a solid season in the minors. In 39 games with the Americans, the 21-year-old winger notched seven goals and 15 helpers. While he likely will start the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, Neuchev could be a candidate to make his NHL debut at some point next year.
