Sabres recall Weber

The Sabres have recalled defenseman Mike Weber from Portland to fill in for the injured Jaroslav Spacek. The Pittsburgh native had just returned to the Pirates lineup missing a couple of weeks due to arthroscopic knee surgery. From the Sabres:
This is the third recall of the season for Weber (20 years old, 6’2” 199 lbs.), who did not record any points in two-games with the Sabres in October and did not see action during his second recall in December. Weber currently has six points (1+5), 86 PIMs and a plus-9 rating in 37 games with Portland this season. Weber was Buffalo’s second-round choice (57th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Weber recorded three assists and a plus-12 rating in 16 games with Buffalo last season.
