Mikhail Grigorenko News
Center
Buffalo Sabres
Grigorenko who hasn't played for Buffalo since March 12, will be in the lineup Monday. Patrick Kaleta is out after getting hurt blocking a shot Friday.
Grigorenko has dressed 22 times for the Sabres and recorded just a goal and four assists. The organization sent him back to Quebec in mid-March to compete in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs. Buffalo recalled him Tuesday and he's been practicing with the team. He centered Jochen Hecht and Nathan Gerbe in practice Sunday.

The Sabres have assigned forward Mikhail Grigorenko to Quebec (QMJHL).
The 18-year-old has had a hard time adjusting his game to the NHL. He has one goal and four assists in 22 goals this season.

The #sabres will scratch 18-year-old centre Mikhail Grigorenko tonight in Toronto. Fourth time this season he's sat out.
Grigorenko only has 1 G, 2 A and is a -4 in 14 games this season. He is only averaging just a shade over 11 minutes a game, so he is not fantasy relevant.

Grigorenko will play tonight vs. Ottawa.
Grigorenko was scratched in the Sabres last game but will draw back into the lineup tonight. The rookie only has 1 G and 2 A in 12 games this year but is still trying to find his way around the NHL. He only holds fantasy value in keeper leagues.

Darcy Regier announces that Mikhail Grigorenko will remain in Buffalo & play tonight.
Grigorenko will get a chance to stay up with the big-club but still does not hold much fantasy value because he has yet to register a point this season. However he is worth keeping an eye on.

Grigorenko takes ice at #sabres practice.
Grigorenko just played in his 5th game of the season which meant it is time for the Sabres to decide whether or not to keep him or send him back to juniors. The fact that he is on the ice this morning seems like he will stay with the team. However he has been a non-factor this season recording 0 points in 5 contests.

Grigorenko’s skating with Ville Leino and Steve Ott, a sign he could be in the lineup Sunday afternoon against Philadelphia.
Grigorenko wasn't expected to make the team this year, so he must have had a great camp. He is a big body that plays even bigger than his 6'3" frame. He still has room to grow as well, but wait and see how he translates his game from camp to live action before rushing to the waiver wire.
