Pye was recalled late January 1993 and likely dressed in a couple games for the Sabres as backup to Tom Draper when both Hasek (abdominal pull) and Puppa (wrenched knee) were injured. He was with the team from January 23rd to January 30th.
Pye currently coaches hockey in the Forth Worth, Texas area.
