Sabres call up defenseman Brendan Guhle, goalie Linus Ullmark from AHL

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Sabres have called up top defensive prospect Brendan Guhle and goalie Linus Ullmark from their American Hockey League affiliate.

The call-ups were made Monday, a day after Buffalo closed out seven straight games on the road with a 4-1 loss at Philadelphia. The Sabres host Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Guhle has seven goals and 13 assists for 20 points in 35 games in his first season with Rochester. He was Buffalo's second-round pick in the 2015 draft and played three games with the Sabres during the 2016 season on an emergency call-up basis.

Ullmark is tied for the AHL lead with 17 wins and ranks fourth with a .928 save percentage this season. He is 8-11-2 in 21 NHL career games.
