Notes
Tage Thompson has posted 34 points (18+16) in his last 31 games, including 19 points (12+7) in his last 16. Thompson ranks second in even-strength goals among all NHL skaters, trailing only Leon Draisaitl (34). Thompson is one even-strength goal away from becoming just the third Sabres skater to record 30 or more even-strength goals in a single season since 1993 (Jason Pominville, 2006-07, 30 EVG; Jeff Skinner, 2018-19, 32 EVG).
Rasmus Dahlin has registered 21 points (6+15) in his last 21 games. Dahlin is six games away from becoming the 33rd Sabres skater, and the 12th Sabres defenseman, to appear in 500 or more games with Buffalo.
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).
In his last six games, Ryan McLeod has recorded six points (1+5), including one point in each of his last four contests. McLeod would match the longest point streak of his career with a point tonight. McLeod’s longest point streak lasted five games and came from Oct. 12 to 22, 2024 (4+1).
Bowen Byram has registered at least one assist in three consecutive games. Byram would record the longest assist streak of his career with an assist tonight.
Owen Power has collected four points (1+3) in his last three games.
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.
