Buffalo Sabres defenseman Nikita Zadorov has returned to the team following a brief suspension for failing to report at the conclusion of the All-Star break.

After Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames, Sabres head coach Ted Nolan said Zadorov rejoined the team and will travel to Edmonton for Thursday's game against the Oilers.

Zadorov's return flight from the Dominican Republic was overbooked by six people, his agent said after he team was forced to suspend him for the absence.

The blue-liner flew to Buffalo before joining his teammates in Calgary, but did not play in Tuesday's game.
