2025 Projections
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sabres in July of 2024.
Taking leave of absence
Sandstrom will head back to his native Sweden to attend to a personal matter, AHL Rochester announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Sandstrom's leave of absence will likely mean more minutes with AHL Rochester for Devon Levi and Scott Ratzlaff. Additionally, it will limit Buffalo's options should there be an injury on the NHL roster.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sandstrom served as the primary backup to Carter Hart a season ago, appearing in 20 games and posting the exact numbers you would expect from a netminder playing behind one of the worst teams in the league (3-12-3, 3.72 GAA, .880 save percentage). Sandstrom was considerably better in a small, seven-game sample with AHL Lehigh Valley (4-1-2, 2.39 GAA, .911 save percentage). The Flyers acquired Cal Petersen in a salary dump from the Kings this offseason -- the veteran goalie makes $5 million annually, Petersen would appear to be a lock to be the backup this coming season unless the Flyers cut bait, leaving Sandstrom to open the year in the minors.
