Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Two helpers in loss
Rotowire
Bryson recorded a pair of assists in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Senators.
Bryson was involved in both of Buffalo's second-period goals, setting up John-Jason Peterka's tally early in the frame before adding a second assist on a Connor Clifton marker. It's just the second multi-point game this season for Bryson, who had one point (an assist) in seven games prior to Wednesday. Overall, the 26-year-old blueliner has eight points (one goal, seven assists) through 27 games in a bottom-pairing role.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Hands out assist Monday
Rotowire
Bryson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Bryson has picked up three points over nine contests in March. The 26-year-old continues to see steady playing time in a third-pairing role -- he has played regularly since Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) was ruled out for the season and Erik Johnson was traded to the Flyers. Bryson has six points, 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 23 outings overall.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Scores first goal of season
Rotowire
Bryson scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Oilers.
With Buffalo down 2-1 midway through the third period, Bryson scooped up a loose puck in the Edmonton end and flipped it toward the net through traffic hoping for a tip-in. Instead, it glanced off Stuart Skinner's shoulder and into the cage. Bryson has played only 19 NHL games this season and had exactly one goal in each of his first three campaigns for the Sabres, so it's unlikely he'll be adding to his total any time soon.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Provides helper in win
Rotowire
Bryson provided an assist in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Bryson danced around the blue line and fed Connor Clifton, who scored his first goal as a member of the Sabres. The tally held up as the game-winner. Bryson continues to hold down the fort while Owen Power (hand) remains on injured reserve, picking up three assists, five hits and 14 blocked shots through 11 games. The 26-year-old Bryson also has three assists in 10 outings with AHL Rochester this season.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Two helpers Tuesday
Rotowire
Bryson picked up two assists while adding two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Kings.
The 26-year-old blueliner collected his first points in six NHL games this season, getting a regular shift with Owen Power (hand) sidelined. Bryson hasn't shown much offensive upside as a pro -- his best season in the AHL came in 2019-20, when he scored four goals and 27 points in 61 games for Rochester -- and he's unlikely to make much fantasy impact even in an expanded role.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Assigned to minors
Rotowire
Bryson was sent to AHL Rochester on Saturday.
Bryson, who has played in only three games this season, hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 4 against Toronto. If he stays in the minors for a bit, he should get some much-needed playing time.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Designated for waivers
Rotowire
Bryson was waived by the Sabres on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Bryson's waiving comes after the blueliner served as a healthy scratch for the last 20 games. With Jack Quinn (Achilles) expected to return soon, waiving Bryson will provide Buffalo with the necessary roster opening. Bryson should see significantly more minutes with AHL Rochester if he clears waivers.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Serving depth role
Rotowire
Bryson has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the 2023-24 season.
In 59 games last season, Bryson chipped in one goal, eight assists, 69 blocked shots and 34 hits. However, he has begun the 2023-24 campaign as Buffalo's seventh defenseman. Barring injuries, the 25-year-old defender could be sitting in the press box for a while.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Snags helper Monday
Rotowire
Bryson registered an assist in Monday's 3-2 defeat to Edmonton.
Bryson finally ended his 26-game pointless streak that stretched back to Dec. 7 versus Columbus. Still, if the 25-year-old blueliner can pick up at least one more point this season, he'll match his career best of 10 set last season. GIven his lack of offensive upside, Bryson shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value moving forward.
