The 24-year-old hasn't scored in 19 straight contests, a span in which he has just 15 shots on net with 26 hits, 19 PIM and 12 blocked shots. Neighbours will need to be a bit more selfish, as he doesn't benefit from being selective with a strong shot. He's at 14 goals, 32 points, 75 shots, 132 hits, 41 PIM and 34 blocks over 62 outings this season.

Berggren scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.

Thompson is 27-21-6 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.53 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 54 games in 2025-26. The Sabres are generating 3.41 goals per game, seventh in the league this season.

Dostal didn't get any more help while allowing three goals over the final 40 minutes. The 25-year-old's heavy workload is catching up to him, but the Ducks also need to play a bit better in front of him. Dostal is 29-18-3 with a 3.09 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 52 appearances. Ville Husso seems likely to get the nod Saturday versus the Flames.
