Top Sabres News

  • Sabres' Tanner Pearson: Dealt for draft pick

    Pearson was acquired by Buffalo from Winnipeg on Friday in exchange for a seventh-round pick, per Darren Dreger of TSN.

    Pearson has seven goals, 13 points, 25 PIM, 49 shots, 68 hits and 26 blocks in 52 outings with Winnipeg in 2025-26. Buffalo will likely use Pearson primarily as a fourth-line option, but he also might find himself spending some time as a healthy scratch, especially during times when the Sabres' forward corps is relatively healthy.

  • Sabres' Jiri Kulich: Season likely over

    Kulich (ear) has been improving but will likely miss the rest of the 2025-26 season, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Friday.

    Kulich has been out of action since Nov. 1 against the Capitals due to an issue related to fluid in his ears. It was determined later to be a blood clot. As a rookie in 2024-25, he notched 15 goals and nine assists in 62 games. He had three goals and five points in 12 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. Buffalo general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said Friday that doctors are hopeful the issue will resolve in time for next season.

  • Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Deposits empty-netter

    Samuelsson scored an empty-net goal, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    Samuelsson snapped a five-game point drought with the empty-netter. The 25-year-old defenseman has had an incredible campaign with 12 goals, 35 points, 89 shots on net, a plus-32 rating, 103 hits and 121 blocked shots. He's currently in a top-four role, but he would be the most likely player to see his ice time drop with the Sabres' acquisitions of Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn in a trade with the Jets on Thursday. That said, Samuelsson's success could help him keep his minutes while Stanley slots in on the third pairing once he gets into the lineup.

  • Sabres' Ryan McLeod: Opens scoring with shortie

    McLeod scored a shorthanded goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    McLeod had gone 14 contests without a goal, but he picked up 12 assists in that span. The 26-year-old's steady all-around play has kept him in a second-line role despite the lack of goals. For the season, he's produced 12 goals, 44 points (six on the power play, six shorthanded), 77 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating. His career high of 53 points was set in 79 outings in 2024-25, and he could surpass that mark with a strong finish this year.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Nets shortie in win

    Tuch scored a shorthanded goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    Tuch's point streak is up to four games (three goals, two assists). He's scored all three of those tallies on special teams (two on the power play, one shorthanded). The 29-year-old winger is up to 25 goals, 53 points, 150 shots on net, 64 hits, 69 blocked shots, 49 PIM and a plus-18 rating over 61 appearances in a top-six role this season.

  • Sabres' Owen Power: Two-point effort Thursday

    Power produced an even-strength goal and a shorthanded assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over Pittsburgh.

    Both points came in the second period as the Sabres broke open a 1-1 tie. Power has gotten onto the scoresheet in three straight games, and on the season he's delivered six goals, 21 points, 97 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating in 61 contests.

  • Sabres' Josh Norris: Two points in Pittsburgh

    Norris scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    Both points came in the second period as the Sabres broke open a 1-1 tie. Norris has been productive since returning from a rib injury after the Olympic break, picking up three goals and five points in the last five games.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Sharp in fourth straight win

    Luukkonen turned aside 27 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    Bryan Rust spoiled his shutout bid with a shorthanded goal in the first period, but otherwise Luukkonen had little trouble with Pittsburgh's offense. The 26-year-old netminder has won four straight decisions dating back to Jan. 22, and on the season he's 14-7-2 over 24 outings with a 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage.

  • Sabres' Sam Carrick: Joining Buffalo in trade

    Carrick was traded to the Sabres from the Rangers in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

    The Sabres continue to stock up at the deadline and will boost their bottom six with a defensive center who can win faceoffs at a high rate. Carrick has struggled with the Rangers, posting just 10 points in 60 contests. He's added 86 hits, 53 PIM and 56 shots on net. Carrick won't move the needle in fantasy, but he can certainly help Buffalo's on-ice situation with his skill set.

  • Sabres' Luke Schenn: Dealt to Buffalo

    Schenn and Logan Stanley were traded to the Sabres from the Jets on Thursday in exchange for Isak Rosen, Jacob Bryson, a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.

    Schenn continues to rack up frequent flier miles -- this is the third time he's been traded in the last year, give or take a day. Schenn is a physical defenseman who can bring critical physicality in a third-pairing role, but he's not a lock to be in the lineup regularly for the Sabres, who may want to keep Michael Kesselring active more often. Schenn is good insurance for any injuries that could happen down the stretch, and his physical play will also be useful if Buffalo is able to get into the playoffs. He has just seven points with 139 hits and 54 blocked shots over 46 outings this season.

  • Sabres' Logan Stanley: Heading to Buffalo

    Stanley and Luke Schenn were traded to the Sabres from the Jets on Thursday in exchange for Isak Rosen, Jacob Bryson, a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.

    Stanley picked a good season to have a career year, collecting 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) with 74 shots on net, 96 hits, 69 blocked shots and 99 PIM over 59 appearances. The 27-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent. With the Sabres, he'll likely be limited to a bottom-four role and no power-play time, as Rasmus Dahlin, Bowen Byram and Owen Power already command big minutes in prime situations. That means Stanley's offense will take a hit, though he could do more with less ice time since he's likely to get more favorable matchups.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: In goal Thursday versus Pittsburgh

    Luukkonen will guard the road goal versus the Penguins on Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    Luukkonen has won his last two outings, giving up just three goals on 66 shots in those games. The 26-year-old has been splitting time with Alex Lyon, who is also on a roll. Luukkonen will face a team that has 12 goals over four games since the Olympic break.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Unavailable for Thursday's game

    Kozak has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Penguins for an undisclosed reason, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    While the exact reason for Kozak's absence isn't yet clear, head coach Lindy Ruff said after Thursday's morning skate that the 23-year-old is day-to-day and remained in Buffalo while the Sabres traveled to Pittsburgh. Josh Dunne is slated to take his place in the lineup Thursday, while Kozak's next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against the Predators.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Five points in last two games

    Dahlin delivered two assists Tuesday in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    The defender has five points, including four assists, in his last two games. Dahlin sits in seventh in scoring overall from the blue line with 53 points, just one point behind Darren Raddysh. Dahlin is on pace to potentially equal his career mark of 73 points, which he set in 2022-23, and he's also on pace to top 200 shots for the fourth straight season.

  • Sabres' Jason Zucker: First goal since break

    Zucker scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Vegas.

    It was his first point since the Olympic break. Zucker has 16 goals, 14 assists and 86 shots in 42 games this season, and he's on pace for a 45-point season. Zucker is firing at a somewhat unsustainable 18.6 percent; his career average is 12.7.

  • Sabres' Tage Thompson: Beast mode activated

    Thompson scored a goal in a 3-2 win over Vegas on Tuesday.

    It stood as the winner. Thompson has been a beast since early December. He's currently on an eight-game, nine-point streak that includes five goals and 33 shots. Thompson has also put up points in 28 of his last 33 games (21 goals, 21 assists; 115 shots) since Dec. 8. That's the kind of fantasy dominance that helps win championships.
