Sabres' Jordan Greenway: Picks up first helper
Greenway posted an assist, four hits and seven PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.
The helper was Greenway's first point in two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old was listed on the top line Saturday and may get some looks higher up in the lineup than usual, especially with the Sabres working through some injuries, though he still had just 13:28 of ice time. He's capable of a 30-point season if he can stay relatively healthy, but the veteran winger has already missed 10 games this year and has lost at least 15 contests in each of the previous four campaigns, so don't bank on his availability.

Sabres' Bowen Byram: Nets shootout winner
Byram recorded the winning tally in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.
While Byram wasn't able to find the scoresheet in regulation or overtime, he scored the lone point of the shootout to send Buffalo home with its first win since Oct. 24. Even though Byram wasn't credited with a point Saturday, he still has four points across his last six games. His value in fantasy is best served for deeper leagues, but the 24-year-old defenseman has steadily improved his offensive numbers each season, making him a name to keep an eye on in all formats.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Scores first NHL goal
Rosen tallied a goal, put three shots on net, blocked two attempts and dished out two hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.
Rosen's first chance at NHL action this season didn't disappoint, as he netted his first career goal to give the Sabres a 3-2 lead before the end of the first period. His category coverage with a bundle of shots, blocks and hits earned him the second star of the game. Not only did Rosen fit right in on Buffalo's third line, but he was also inserted into the team's first power-play unit, as he finished the contest with just under four minutes skating with a man advantage. While Rosen's move up from AHL Rochester was done in response to Buffalo placing winger Zach Benson on IR with a lower-body injury, a few more performances like these could keep Rosen at the NHL level beyond Benson's return. Rosen is an intriguing stash in deeper leagues if he can start to string together points.

Sabres' Alex Tuch: Finds twine in win
Tuch scored a goal, put two shots on net, blocked two attempts and served four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over Washington.
Tuch found the back of the net to level the score in the first period at two goals apiece. Overall, the 29-year-old winger has five goals, 12 points, 29 shots and 15 blocks through his first 12 games of the season. He currently leads the Sabres in points and has at least one tally in eight of his last 10 contests. His consistency has been a contributing factor to the rise of Josh Doan, who has nine points while skating alongside Tuch on the Sabres' second line. Tuch has good value in most fantasy formats and should be a large part of Buffalo's endeavors this season.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Scores again Saturday
Thompson tallied a goal, put four shots on net and blocked two attempts in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.
Thompson worked his way back into the goal column with a swift response to Aliaksei Protas' tally in the first period to bring the Sabres back within one score. With the goal, Thompson has four twine finders in his last five games and is up to 10 points through 12 appearances this season. He's also fired 54 shots on net, which is one attempt less than the league leader, Nathan MacKinnon. According to NHL Edge stats, Thompson ranks in the 97th percentile for average shot speed, making him a threat to score from anywhere in the offensive zone. If he can continue to ramp up his play, Thompson could be in business for the third 40-plus goal season of his career.

Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Battles for first win
Luukkonen stopped 31 of 34 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.
Luukkonen's second start of the season got off to a shaky start, as he allowed two goals in the first two and a half minutes. Outside that mark, he was nearly perfect, allowing just one more goal across regulation and overtime en route to the shootout win. Luukkonen now has a 1-0-1 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .877 save percentage in two games this season. The return to the win column for the 26-year-old netminder should chip away at the fantasy value of fellow goalie Alex Lyon, who has a 3-4-2 record through nine games this season. Luukkonen will likely be the team's top option between the pipes moving forward, giving him solid fantasy value once the volume starts to match his totals from seasons past. His next chance to take the ice is at home Tuesday against the Mammoth.

Sabres' Ryerson Leenders: Earns shutout for Brantford
Leenders posted a 30-save shutout in OHL Brantford's 7-0 win over Flint on Saturday.
Leenders, who was the OHL Goaltender of the Week in last week's action, has continued his strong play. He's won five straight games, and he's allowed just nine goals during that streak. The Sabres prospect should continue to see a fair amount of playing time for a competitive junior team that has gone 12-0-3 to begin 2025-26.

Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Between pipes Saturday
Luukkonen will patrol the home crease versus Washington on Saturday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Luukkonen has fared well against the Capitals in his career, posting a 5-1-2 record with a 2.91 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Luukkonen has made only one start this season, as he suffered a lower-body injury during training camp. He allowed four goals on 23 shots in an overtime loss to Toronto on Oct. 25.

Sabres' Zach Benson: Suffered lower-body injury
Benson is out of action with a lower-body injury, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports Saturday.
Head coach Lindy Ruff said Saturday that Benson has been hampered by the injury for the last two games before the 20-year-old forward was unable to play. The Sabres placed Benson on injured reserve, and he could be out for at least one week. Benson has eight assists in eight appearances this season.

Sabres' Ryan Johnson: Two points in Rochester's win
Johnson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Rochester's 2-1 win over Laval on Friday.
Johnson started the season in the NHL but failed to earn a point over three games. He's gone on to post five points across six outings since returning to Rochester. The 24-year-old defenseman doesn't have a clear path back to the Sabres, but he should be near the top of the list of call-ups if the team suffers injuries on the blue line.

Sabres' Zach Benson: Lands on injured reserve
Benson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.
Benson reportedly sustained the injury late in Thursday's contest versus the Bruins, and it will now cost him at least a week of action. The 20-year-old has been in a top-six role with power-play time this season, so it will be a big hole for the Sabres to fill. Isak Rosen was called up from AHL Rochester in a corresponding move.

Sabres' Isak Rosen: Called up Friday
Rosen was recalled from AHL Rochester on Friday.
Rosen has had a spectacular start to the year for the Americans, racking up five goals and 12 points in eight games. The Sabres didn't announce a corresponding move, but Rosen's recall would put them over the roster limit, so someone will be off the roster to make room. Rosen will likely begin this NHL stint in a bottom-six role against the Capitals on Saturday.

Sabres' Josh Doan: Scores again Thursday
Doan scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Doan has a goal in each of the last two games, and he's fired five shots in each of those contests. The 23-year-old continues to fill a second-line spot and a power-play role. He is unlikely to push for elite offense, but he should be steady as long as he's seeing that kind of usage. Doan is at four goals, four assists, 34 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating through 11 outings this season.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Finds back of net on power play
Dahlin scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
The star blueliner got the Sabres on the board late in the second period with a point shot that deflected off a skate past Joonas Korpisalo, and Dahlin then set up Alex Tuch for the tying tally late in the third. The goal was Dahlin's first of the season, but he's been plenty productive in the early going, collecting nine points in 11 games, including five points with the man advantage.

Sabres' Alex Tuch: Two-point effort Thursday
Tuch produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Tuch earned the Sabres a point in the standings by sparking a third-period comeback from a 3-1 deficit. The 29-year-old winger's shot early in the frame generated a big rebound that Josh Doan was able to corral and slot behind Joonas Korpisalo, and Tuch then snapped home the tying tally with a little over five minutes left in regulation. It's his third multi-point performance in the last four games, and through 11 contests to begin the season, Tuch has racked up four goals and 11 points.

Sabres' Alex Lyon: Comes up short in OT
Lyon made 18 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Buffalo outshot the home squad 40-22 on the night, but Boston made its chances count in regulation and then got the only three shots on net in OT. Lyon's strong start to the season may be fading -- he's allowed 14 goals on 125 shots (.888 save percentage) while going 1-1-2 over his last four outings, as he works in a timeshare with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Sabres' Jordan Greenway: Ready to return
Greenway (lower body) will play Thursday in Boston.
Greenway, who was on injured reserve, is making his first appearance of the season. He had three goals, eight points, 100 hits and 29 blocks in 34 outings with Buffalo in 2024-25. Greenway is projected to serve on the fourth line alongside Josh Dunne and Beck Malenstyn versus the Bruins.
