Notes
Tage Thompson has posted 34 points (18+16) in his last 30 games, including 19 points (12+7) in his last 15. Thompson is riding a three-game point streak (3+2) and a point in tonight’s game would give him his sixth point streak of four or more games this season. A point tonight would mark the 19th time he has registered a point streak of four or more games in his career.
Rasmus Dahlin has registered 21 points (6+15) in his last 20 games.
JJ Peterka has tallied 19 points (9+10) in his last 17 games and he has registered seven points (2+5) in his last six games. Peterka is one goal away from reaching 20 goals for the second consecutive season and becoming the first Sabres skater to record multiple seasons of 20 or more goals at age 23 or younger since Jack Eichel (five times).
Josh Norris has notched one point in two consecutive games (1+1) and a goal tonight would give him his third three-game point streak this season.
In his last five games, Ryan McLeod has recorded five points (1+4), including one point in each of his last three contests. McLeod would notch his second point streak of four or more games this season with a point tonight. McLeod’s longest point streak of the season lasted five games from Oct. 12 to 22 (4+1).
Jason Zucker has recorded nine points (3+6) in his last nine games.
Bowen Byram has registered at least one assist in back-to-back games and an assist in tonight’s game would give him his fourth three-game assist streak of the season.
