Minnesota Forward Tyson Jost Claimed Off Waivers

Tyson Jost, placed on waivers on Friday, has been claimed off the wire by the Buffalo Sabres, per Darren Dreger.

Jost, 24, was traded to Minnesota from Colorado before last season's playoffs. In 354 NHL games, the former 10th-overall pick has managed 112 points for the Avs and the Wild.

Buffalo, whose hot start has been completely erased by their current 7-game losing streak, could use the help and must be comfortable taking a flyer on the talented forward.

The Sabres are scheduled to play in Toronto tonight, but a brutal snowstorm has placed the game in jeopardy. Whether or not the game is played & if Jost suits up remains to be determined.
