BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Left wing Taylor Pyatt was among four players who re-signed with the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday.

Pyatt and defensemen Jeff Jillson and Henrik Tallinder accepted one-year qualifying offers, while defenseman Brian Campbell agreed to a one-year deal.

Pyatt, who enters his fifth NHL season, had eight goals and 12 assists in 63 games last season. He missed 19 games with knee and shoulder injuries. His new deal is worth $1.24 million, a 10 percent raise over last year.

Jillson, acquired from San Jose in a three-team trade last March, accepted a $102,500 raise over the $1.025 million he made last year.

Tallinder emerged as a regular with one goal and nine assists in 72 games last season, and will make $708,000 next season.

Campbell finished with three goals and eight assists in 53 games, but sat out 12 of Buffalo’s last 14 games of the season. Campbell was expected to receive a slight raise over the $550,000 he made last year.
