Sabres' Jason Zucker: Helps out on power play
Zucker logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
Zucker has gone seven games without a goal, picking up three assists and nine shots on net in that span. The 32-year-old winger has done pretty well in a middle-six role with power-play time, earning 12 points (five on the power play), 23 shots on net, 10 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 contests. Zucker has peaked in the 40-50 point range most of the time, but that's enough offense to be worth a look in fantasy.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Extends point streak to six games
Peterka logged an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
During his six-game point streak, Peterka has three goals and five assists. The 22-year-old winger has flown under the radar to an extent this year, though he's been steady when healthy while playing on the Sabres' top line. He's up to seven goals, nine helpers, 36 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 16 appearances. Peterka is in line to shatter his career-best mark of 50 points from last season.

Sabres' Ryan McLeod: Scores in loss to Flyers
McLeod scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
McLeod found the back of the net in the dying stages of the third period, but his goal wasn't enough to spark a comeback. The playmaker has only two goals in eight appearances in November but has found a way to stay productive, notching points in five of those eight contests while dishing five assists over that span.

Sabres' Devon Levi: Fifth defeat of season Saturday
Levi stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers. Philadelphia's fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Levi made his second straight start with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) sidelined once again, and the results weren't pretty. Levi has posted a sub-.890 save percentage in each of his last five outings, going 1-4-0 with a 4.60 GAA and .846 save percentage in that stretch. Unfortunately for the Sabres, Levi will remain between the pipes until Luukkonen is ready to return, unless the coaching staff decides to give James Reimer an opportunity amid Levi's struggles.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Two points in loss Saturday
Dahlin recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
Dahlin scored a power-play goal for the third consecutive game. The star defenseman is riding a six-game point streak, notching nine points and three multi-point performances in that span. He remains one of the league's most valuable fantasy performers on the blue line, with 16 points in 18 appearances in 2024-25.

Sabres' Jiri Kulich: Called up Friday
Kulich was called up from AHL Rochester on Friday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Kulich will take the roster spot of Tage Thompson (lower body), who was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Kulich could be an option to play Saturday versus the Flyers if Jordan Greenway (undisclosed) can't suit up. Through eight NHL appearances this season, Kulich has a goal, 17 shots on net and eight hits.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Lands on injured reserve
Thompson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Thompson was already ruled out for Saturday's game in Philadelphia. He'll be eligible to return as soon as Wednesday versus the Kings, and it was previously reported he's likely to travel with the Sabres for their three-game trip through California. Jiri Kulich was called up to take Thompson's roster spot for now.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Contributes assist
Bryson notched an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Bryson has earned two helpers over the last three games. The 26-year-old has played in six straight contests and continues to hold the upper hand over Henri Jokiharju and Connor Clifton for a top-four spot. Bryson won't be a factor on the power play and likely won't add much offense, but he looks to be a lineup regular moving forward.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Assists on game-winner
Quinn logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Quinn saw a season-high 19:04 of ice time in the Sabres' comeback win, and he helped out on Rasmus Dahlin's tally in overtime. With three helpers over the last four games, Quinn is starting to find his way on offense. He has a long way to go -- the 23-year-old forward is at a meager five points with 25 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-5 rating over 16 contests, and he's been in a second-line role for much of the campaign.

Sabres' Tage Thompson: Not playing Saturday
Thompson (lower body) will not play in Philadelphia on Saturday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Thompson has been ruled out Saturday, but the Sabres are hopeful that he will be able to return Wednesday in Los Angeles as Buffalo begins a three-game run in California. Thompson has 11 goals and 18 points in 16 games this season, including goals in each of his previous four contests.

Sabres' Jordan Greenway: Questionable versus Flyers
Greenway has been playing through a nagging undisclosed injury that could sideline him against Philadelphia on Saturday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
After the clash with the Flyers, the Sabres will be off until a matchup with the Kings on Wednesday, so it seems like it would be a good time to shut Greenway down without having him miss too much time. The 27-year-old winger has managed just one goal in his last 10 outings while registering a mere nine shots. Unless he starts shooting the puck more, Greenway may struggle to break out of his slump.

Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Won't start Saturday
Luukkonen (undisclosed) won't start in Saturday's road matchup against Philadelphia, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Luukkonen has been dealing with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game Saturday. He's been skating in recent days, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be in the mix to return for Wednesday's game against Los Angeles.

Sabres' Bowen Byram: Provides assist in victory
Byram chipped in an even-strength helper in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Byram helped facilitate Alex Tuch's game-tying goal in the third period. Byram offered two shots, one hit, one takeaway and a plus-2 rating in 27:35 of ice time. The left-shot blueliner is on a roll in November after a slow start to the season in October -- the British Columbia native has generated seven points (two goals) in as many games in the second month of the campaign. Byram has delivered three goals, eight helpers, and a plus-9 rating across 17 contests.

Sabres' Zach Benson: Nets marker in win
Benson scored his third goal of the season Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over St. Louis.
Benson tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, and he added four shots, one hit and a plus-2 rating in 17:21 of ice time. After being held off the scoresheet in his first seven outings while contending with a lower-body injury earlier in the season, Benson has produced three goals and an assist across a four-game span. The 19-year-old is currently occupying a top-line role and spot on the No. 2 power-play unit.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Nets game-winner Thursday
Dahlin potted the winning goal on the power play in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over St. Louis.
Dahlin buried a one-timer past Jordan Binnington to extend his point streak to five games. Dahlin has generated two multi-point efforts and seven points overall during that span. The 24-year-old leads Buffalo's blue line in scoring, and he's fourth overall on the team in points. The Swedish defenseman is up to four goals, 10 assists and a plus-3 rating while averaging 24:39 of ice time through 17 games.

Sabres' Ryan McLeod: Two points in win
McLeod deposited a goal on his only shot and added a helper Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
McLeod slotted in on the top line for Thursday's contest as a result of Tage Thompson being sidelined with a lower-body injury. McLeod scored his fifth goal of the season in the opening frame before setting up Alex Tuch's game-tying marker in the third period. After garnering five points over 10 games in October, McLeod has picked up the pace in November by producing six points (one goal) across seven contests. Overall, the 25-year-old has provided five goals, six assists and a plus-7 rating through 17 outings.
