Tokarski was recalled under emergency conditions from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday. - Tokarski's promotion certainly doesn't bode well for the availability of Tristan Jarry (upper body), who was a surprise scratch versus the Panthers on Tuesday.

Tokarski remains behind Craig Anderson on the depth chart in Buffalo, and aside from a shutout of Calgary on March 18, the Sabres' No. 2 goalie has given up at least three goals in all of his starts since late January. |

Tokarski is back to looking like a journeyman, going 1-3-1 over his last five starts with a 3.64 GAA and .887 save percentage, but the Sabres don't really have any other options in the crease right now aside from 40-year-old Craig Anderson, who's been just as ineffective lately. |

Tokarski was named the starting netminder Friday in St. Louis, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports. - With a 1-2-1 record, 3.55 GAA and .898 save percentage over his last four starts, Tokarski is probably one of the least appealing goaltending options Friday.

Tokarski turned aside 31 of 35 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche. - Colorado's final goal was scored into an empty net. A wild first period left the Sabres in a 3-2 hole, and while Buffalo did tie it up in the second, Tokarski eventually got beaten for the game-winner midway through the third. The 32-year-old has allowed three or more goals in all four of his starts since clearing the COVID-19 protocols in late January, leaving him with a 3.35 GAA and .902 save percentage on the season, but he should remain in a timeshare with Craig Anderson in the Sabres' crease for now. |
None |
| Feb. 16, 2022 |
Tokarski turned aside 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Islanders. - Aside from Kyle Palmieri, who beat him twice, Tokarski had little trouble containing the Isles' offense as he picked up his first win since Nov. 26.

Then Oliver Bjorkstrand tied it from near the left post on the power play to knot it at 3-3. Then in overtime, Jakub Voracek took a drop pass, picked up a bit of speed through the neutral zone, and then beat Tokarski with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle. It was just Voracek's second goal of in 43 games this season. His last win was Nov. 26. That's pretty much all you need to know about that. |

Tokarski turned aside 38 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings. - The 32-year-old year continues to see a lot of rubber behind a shaky Buffalo blue line, and Saturday marked the second time in his last four starts Tokarski faced 40 or more shots.

Tokarski will tend the twine versus Seattle on the road Thursday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports. - Tokarski will be making his fourth appearance of the season, having gone 1-1-1 with a 1.91 GAA in his previous three contests. While the 32-year-old netminder's numbers have been solid, he will be hard-pressed to pry the starting job away from Craig Anderson this year. As such, Tokarski is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value. |
