Notes
The Sabres have earned at least one point in five of their last seven road contests against the Flyers (4-2-1). The winning team has recorded at least five goals in each game in that span.
Rasmus Dahlin is expected to play in the 500th game of his career in today’s game. Dahlin (24 years, 350 days) will become the third defenseman in NHL history to reach 500 games played before age 25 (Phil Housley, 24 years, 314 days; Scott Stevens, 24 years, 264 days). Dahlin has registered at least one point in four consecutive games (1+4) and a point today would give him his third point streak of five or more games this season. • An assist today would give him a three-game assist streak.
JJ Peterka has tallied 23 points (12+11) in his last 22 games and he has registered 11 points (5+6) in his last 11 games.
In his last 11 games, Ryan McLeod has posted 12 points (3+9). McLeod has collected 14 points (3+11) in his last 12 road games.
Tage Thompson has posted 38 points (20+18) in his last 36 games, including 23 points (14+9) in his last 21. Thompson has recorded one goal in back-to-back games and a goal today would give him his fifth goal streak of three or more games this season.
Tyson Kozak is riding a three-game point streak (2+2) and a point today would extend his career-long point streak to four games.
Peyton Krebs has posted at least one point in back-to-back games and he has tallied three points (1+2) in that span. A point in today’s game would give him the longest point streak of his career (three games).
Zach Benson has recorded one assist in each of his last two games. Benson would match the longest assist streak of his career (three games; April 2 to 7, 2024; 0+5) with an assist in today’s game.
Jack Quinn has recorded one point in two consecutive games and a point today would give him his third three-game point streak this season.
In his last three games, Alex Tuch has posted three points (2+1).
