Patrik Berglund: Signs overseas
Patrik Berglund agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Swedish club Djurgardens IF on Tuesday.Berglund had a failing out with the Sabres last season after he was suspended indefinitely for failure to report and then placed on unconditional waivers. The Swede notched four points in 23 games prior to the incident and was averaging a mere 13:03 of ice time, the lowest of his NHL career. The 30-year-old will remain in his native Sweden for the 2019-20 campaign and may have played his final game in the NHL.

Sabres' Patrik Berglund: Placed on waivers
The Buffalo Sabres placed Patrik Berglund (suspension) on unconditional waivers Wednesday with the intention of terminating his deal.Although the team isn't releasing any more details regarding the situation, Berglund was saddled with an indefinite suspension by the Sabres after he didn't report to the club following his two-game absence due to illness. It's unclear exactly what caused the situation, or if he was even sick in the first place, but the veteran pivot has presumably ended his time in Buffalo after just 23 games, having recorded just four points -- two goals and two assists -- over that span. If he goes unclaimed, Berglund will become a free agent.

Sabres' Patrik Berglund: Unavailable against Kings
Patrik Berglund is under the weather and won't suit up versus Los Angeles on Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.Berglund is pointless in his previous 10 outings while averaging 12:59 of ice time. The center's absence from the scoresheet could cause him to miss the 20-point mark for the first time since the 2015-16 campaign, when he was limited to just 42 games due to injury. In the 30-year-old's stead, Zemgus Girgenson will slot into a fourth-line role.

Sabres' Patrik Berglund: Back in lineup
Patrik Berglund will return for Friday's game in Winnipeg.After being a healthy scratch last game, Berglund will center Buffalo's third line, and he will also get a chance on the top power-play unit. He had primarily been used on the fourth line, so this gives him much more fantasy appeal than before. If he can prove he belongs there, it might not be too late to turn his season around.

Sabres' Patrik Berglund: Healthy scratched
Patrik Berglund sat in the press box during Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay.This is the second time Berglund has been a healthy scratch for the Buffalo Sabres. He's had a rough start in Buffalo, posting just four points in 16 games. He started out as the No. 2 center, but quickly got relegated to fourth-line duties. Berglund scored 17 goals in 57 games last year for St. Louis, a pace of 24 goals in a full season. He'll have his work cut out for him if he's to come anywhere near that total this time around.
