Capitals' Josh Dunne: Links up with Washington
Dunne signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Capitals on Wednesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Dunne will compete for a bottom-six role with the Capitals during training camp. The 27-year-old forward's contract is a one-way deal, which gives him some financial security even if he ends up getting waived prior to the start of the campaign. With the Sabres last year, he produced just four points, along with 29 shots on net, 38 PIM and 40 hits, over 34 regular-season contests.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Struggling for playing time
Dunne has been scratched 19 times in 24 games, including in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks, since he returned from an undisclosed injury.
Dunne hasn't been able to crack the lineup often, as the Sabres have rolled with their winning group of forwards to the top of the Atlantic Division. They are locked into their seeding now, so it's possible Dunne could rotate in if the Sabres rest players for Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Stars. If he doesn't get in, he'll finish the year with four points, 28 shots on net, 39 hits and 38 PIM over 33 appearances. Dunne is unlikely to see playing time in the postseason.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Off injured reserve
Dunne (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve Wednesday, per NHL media site.
Dunne hasn't played since Jan. 12 because of the injury. He has a goal and four points in 28 outings in 2025-26. Dunne will probably serve on the fourth line alongside Tyson Kozak and Beck Malenstyn against New Jersey on Wednesday.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Lands on injured reserve
Dunne (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
The Sabres announced Wednesday that Dunne is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, so it isn't surprising to see him officially placed on injured reserve. The 27-year-old will presumably be sidelined until after the Olympic break, which concludes in late February.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Set to miss 4-6 weeks
Dunne (undisclosed) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Wednesday.
Dunne will likely return after the Olympic break, based on that timetable. He has a goal, four points, 34 PIM, 34 hits and 12 blocks in 28 appearances in 2025-26. Dunne hasn't been able to stay in the lineup consistently, so there's no guarantee he'll play regularly once he's available.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Being evaluated for injury
Dunne is being further evaluated by team doctors and could miss some time, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Tuesday.
Dunne has been in and out of the lineup as a healthy scratch, but it appears that maybe he was dealing with this undisclosed injury as a contributing factor. Even when he has played, the 27-year-old center has struggled to produce offensively with just one goal and three assists in his 28 outings.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Picks up assist
Dunne logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.
Dunne remains a part-time option on the fourth line for the Sabres. The 27-year-old had gone five games without a point prior to Tuesday, and he was scratched five times in that span. For the season, he's contributed four points, 18 shots on net, 25 hits and 29 PIM over 23 appearances in his first season as an NHL regular despite the limited playing time.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Pockets helper Saturday
Dunne registered an assist and four hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
Dunne has slipped into a part-time role over the last week, getting scratched in two of the Sabres' last five games. The 26-year-old fills a fourth-line role when he plays, though he may sit more often if Jordan Greenway can stay healthy. Dunne has earned three points, 14 shots on net, 27 PIM, 21 hits and a minus-3 rating across 17 appearances this season, surpassing his total of NHL games from his first three campaigns combined.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Earns first NHL goal
Dunne scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Dunne's first career goal came against the team that gave him his NHL debut in 2020-21. The 26-year-old has a goal, five shots, six hits and a plus-1 rating over four appearances this season. He's helping the Sabres cover some injury absences, but Dunne will likely have to head back to AHL Rochester once the Sabres get healthier.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Up from minors
Dunne was summoned from AHL Rochester on Saturday.
Tyson Kozak (lower body) won't play Saturday against Toronto after exiting Friday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs. Dunne's promotion gives the team 13 healthy forwards on the roster. He might spend the rematch against Toronto in the press box, but he could plug into the lineup in a bottom-six capacity if Buffalo wants to rest a forward. Dunne has no points and three hits in two appearances with the Sabres in 2025-26.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Dropped to minors
Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Wednesday.
Dunne's demotion could be an indication that Beck Malenstyn (personal) will rejoin the team for Wednesday's clash with the Red Wings. In his two outings this season, the 26-year-old Dunne failed to register a point while notching three hits and one shot in only 6:30 of ice time. He hasn't recorded a point in 18 career NHL outings. Given his offensive limitations, Dunne figures to spend the bulk of the campaign in the minors.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Recalled from minors
Dunne was promoted from AHL Rochester on Friday.
Dunne's elevation to the main roster doesn't bode well for the availability of Josh Norris (upper body) ahead of Saturday's clash with the Bruins. In his two games with the Sabres last year, the 26-year-old Dunne registered five hits, five PIM and one shot but zero points. Even if Norris can't play Saturday, Dunne is far from a lock to make the lineup, especially if Zach Benson (face) is good to go.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Hits waiver wire
Dunne was placed on waivers Sunday to be assigned to AHL Rochester.
Dunne notched 10 goals and 29 points in 68 regular-season games for AHL Rochester in 2024-25. He hasn't earned an NHL point in 16 career regular-season appearances.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Returned to AHL
Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Friday, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.
Dunne saw fourth-line minutes Thursday, only playing 6:55 in a 7-3 win over Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old has nine goals, 17 assists and 44 PIM in 58 AHL games this season.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Up from AHL
Dunne was promoted from AHL Rochester on Tuesday.
Dunne has nine goals, 26 points and 44 PIM in 58 outings with Rochester this season. He's also appeared in one game with Buffalo in 2024-25, recording no points, five PIM, four hits and one blocked shot in 7:16 of ice time. Buffalo now has at least 12 healthy forwards available for Tuesday's clash against Ottawa, even if Jiri Kulich (concussion) is unable to play.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Back in AHL
Dunne was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday.
The 26-year-old has played in one game at the NHL level this season, picking up a five-minute major for fighting, four hits and a shot on goal in 7:16 of action versus Florida on March 8. Dunne had eight goals, 16 assists and 44 PIM across 54 contests with Rochester before his recall.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Up from minors
Dunne was recalled by Buffalo on an emergency basis Friday.
Jordan Greenwayand Jack Quinn are both questionable for Saturday's clash against Florida due to illness, and the Sabres could also be without Jason Zucker (lower body), so Dunne might be needed. He has eight goals, 24 points and 44 PIM over 54 appearances with AHL Rochester in 2024-25.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Winds up on waivers
Dunne landed on the waiver wire Tuesday, PuckPedia reports.
Dunne hasn't logged an NHL game since the 2022-23 season when he made eight appearances for the Blue Jackets in which he generated four shots, six PIM and 19 hits. Through 14 professional outings, the 25-year-old center has yet to register a point. If he passes through waivers, Dunne will link up with AHL Rochester for the start of the season.

Sabres' Josh Dunne: Inks two-way agreement
Dunne signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Sabres on Monday.
Dunne had two goals and seven points in 25 regular-season contests with AHL Cleveland in 2023-24. The 25-year-old is unlikely to play for the Sabres in the upcoming campaign, and he has yet to record a point over 14 NHL appearances with Columbus.

Blue Jackets' Josh Dunne: Waived Friday
Dunne was put on waivers Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Dunne was unable to pick up a point in eight NHL games with Columbus last season. He managed 37 points in 65 AHL games with Cleveland in 2022-23.
