The NFL draft may be over, but the roster-building is not. Shortly after the seventh round of the draft concluded Saturday night, the Buffalo Bills began adding players as undrafted rookie free agents. buffalonews.com/sports/profess…

And now Rochester's Jack Rathbone is getting helped to the Amerks' bench. They're down to four defensemen with Komarov also out. No penalty called. Amerks lead 1-0 with 3:01 left in the second period.

Rathbone has returned, so Rochester has five of its six defensemen available. Komarov is still out. Amerks killed a penalty, then drew one to earn a power play. They're still leading 1-0 with 17.6 seconds left in the second period.

Jiri Kulich hammers a one-timer on the power play for his first goal of the playoffs. We've seen that shot a few times before. Rochester leads 2-0 with 13.3 seconds left in the second period.

Officiating can't be an easy job, but this AHL crew has really struggled this afternoon. They've lost control. Jobst got speared at the end of the second period. Dunne also took a cheap shot while the officials stood around.

Kale Clague adds to the Amerks' lead. It's 3--0 with 14:07 left in the third period. Kulich won the faceoff back to Clague, who beat Halverson. Rochester will take a 2-0 series lead if it holds on.

Empty-net goal for Isak Rosen. The Amerks lead 4-0, and they'll take a 2-0 series lead. Game 3 in the best-of-five is Thursday in Syracuse.

Kristen Sharkey made many choices on the path to becoming the head coach of Buffalo Women's Basketball — but prepared herself, too. “… when you have courage, any door that opens, you’ve got to plow through it and see where that goes.” 🦈 🔗 buffalonews.com/sports/college…

Seems like a good time to share my analysis from the draft. Rebuilding the defense — the unit that’s failed the Bills so often in the playoffs — is logical. But it’s also fair to question whether another WR (Hollins, Cooper out, Palmer in) was a need. buffalonews.com/sports/profess…

The Bruins, Rangers, Kraken and Canucks (if Tocchet leaves), among others, are going to want Mike Sullivan, but New York may give him the best chance to win now. I wonder if we see a team fire its coach to try to hire him.

On One Bills Live, #Bills GM Brandon Beane confirms free agent WR Elijah Moore is at facility today. "Nothing imminent," Beane said of signing him. Moore has 200 catches for 2,162 yards, 10 touchdowns in four pro seasons.

Mark is the best. An outstanding reporter and even better person. I'm grateful to have called him a colleague these past seven years. I always learned something while reading his work, including the art of using statistics and data in analysis-based stories.

Another staff change with the Penguins: Katerina Wu, previously a senior data scientist with the organization's research and development operations, has left. She had been with the Penguins since 2021 and had a role in scouting as well as evaluation.

I'm told Sabres prospect Vsevelod Komarov is feeling better today after taking this punch in his fight with Jack Finley. Komarov didn't return in the Amerks' 4-0 win in Game 2. Rochester coach Mike Leone: "You never want to see that happen. He’s a tough kid. He’s competitive."
