Top Sabres News

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Tough loss Thursday

    Luukkonen made 20 saves in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    Buffalo grabbed an early lead on a first-period goal by Sam Carrick, but that was all the offensive support Luukkonen would get on the night. It was the first regulation loss for the 27-year-old netminder since Jan. 19, and over five starts since the Olympic break Luukkonen has posted a solid 2.63 GAA and .910 save percentage.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Unavailable Thursday

    Kozak (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Washington, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

    Kozak has also missed Buffalo's past four outings. He has two goals and four points in 39 appearances this season. Kozak might play on the fourth line once he's healthy, but it's also possible he'll be a healthy scratch.

  • Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Slated to face Washington

    Luukkonen is expected to start at home against Washington on Thursday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

    Luukkonen has a 15-7-2 record, 2.74 GAA and .904 save percentage in 25 outings in 2025-26. He's won his past four starts, but he did surrender seven goals on 28 shots in an 8-7 victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday. The Capitals have lost four of their past five games while being outscored 19-13.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Not playing versus Capitals

    Tuch (lower body) won't suit up Thursday versus the Capitals, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

    Tuch's next chance to play is Saturday versus the Maple Leafs. Tanner Pearson is poised to make his Sabres debut after last week's trade from the Jets.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Questionable Thursday

    Tuch is questionable for Thursday's game against Washington because of a lower-body injury.

    Tuch has 28 goals and 57 points in 64 outings in 2025-26. If he can't play Thursday, then it would disrupt his seven-game scoring streak (six goals, nine points). Tanner Pearson might make his Sabres debut if Tuch is unavailable.

  • Sabres' Beck Malenstyn: Pots goal Tuesday

    Malenstyn scored a goal on two shots, added five PIM and doled out five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Malenstyn snapped a five-game point drought with the tally. He also fought for the second game in a row. The 28-year-old plays exclusively on the fourth line, offering plenty of physicality for the Sabres in that role. He has six goals, 10 points, 56 shots on net, 225 hits, 64 blocked shots and 34 PIM through 64 appearances.

  • Sabres' Alex Tuch: Scores in 600th game

    Tuch scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Tuch skated in his 600th regular-season game, and he marked the occasion with a goal at 5:39 of the first period to put the Sabres ahead 2-0. The 29-year-old winger now has 195 goals in his career, so he could knock out another milestone before the end of the campaign. He has six goals and three assists during a seven-game point streak, giving him 28 tallies, 57 points, 155 shots on net, 74 blocked shots, 69 hits, 49 PIM and a plus-18 rating through 64 outings this season.

  • Sabres' Alex Lyon: Fourth straight win

    Lyon made 17 saves in a 6-3 win over San Jose on Tuesday.

    Lyon has won his last four starts and continues to deliver career numbers. He is 18-8-3 with two shutouts, a 2.65 GAA and .914 save percentage. Lyon is in a strict alternating platoon with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, which means UPL will likely take on the Caps on Thursday, with Lyon back in the paint Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

  • Sabres' Jason Zucker: Team leader in game-winning goals

    Zucker had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

    Zucker's goal -- his 20th of the season -- stood as the winner. He is on a three-game goal streak (four goals, two assists), and he has 12 shots in that span. Zucker leads the Sabres with five game-winning goals despite playing in just 46 games. In comparison, Tage Thompson, who has played in 65 games, has four.

  • Sabres' Ryan McLeod: Three helpers in win

    McLeod had three assists in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

    McLeod has four assists over his last two games and six points, including five assists, over his last five games. His 48 points (12 goals, 36 assists) in 65 games put McLeod on pace for his first-ever 60-point season. He's been a strong fit on the second line, and his leadership has been in invaluable to the Sabres.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Three-game, seven-point streak

    Dahlin had three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over San Jose.

    Dahlin is on a three-game, seven-point scoring streak. He has five PIM and four shots in that span. Dahlin has 60 points in 61 games, a pace that would see him flirt with a career mark in points. His best season came in 2022-23 when he delivered 73 points (15 goals, 58 assists) in 78 games.

  • Sabres' Jack Quinn: Scoring outburst sets career firsts

    Quinn scored a hat trick and had an assist in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

    It was Quinn's first hattie and first four-point game in the NHL. He ended a 12-game goal drought. Quinn's teammates were raving to reporters about the forward after the game: "Every practice, every day, he's in here in the shooting room working on his game," said Beck Malenstyn. "He has such a knack for scoring, such a gift to be able to do it. He contorts his body in ways that I think my back would go out if I tried to, and what he can put on the puck is just incredible." Quinn had been quiet since the break, putting up just two assists in seven games prior to Tuesday. Overall, the winger has 15 goals, 28 assists and 141 shots in 65 games. That puts him on pace where he could finish with a career-best 55 points this season.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Remains shelved Tuesday

    Kozak (undisclosed) wasn't featured in line combinations during warmups and will miss Tuesday's home clash with the Sharks, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

    Kozak is set to miss his fourth consecutive game due to an undisclosed injury. Head coach Lindy Ruff's most recent update on Kozak, which he gave Thursday, was that he is day-to-day. Until further information is disclosed, the 23-year-old's status will be monitored ahead of each game, with his next chance to return set for Thursday's clash against the Capitals.

  • Sabres' Alex Lyon: Tending twine Tuesday

    Lyon will protect the home net against San Jose on Tuesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

    Lyon has stopped 77 of the 83 shots he has faced during his three-game winning streak. He has been splitting starts with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen lately. Lyon has a 17-8-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.64 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 30 appearances. San Jose sits 18th in the league with 3.07 goals per game this season.

  • Sabres' Michael Kesselring: Garners assist in high-scoring win

    Kesselring notched an assist and seven PIM in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.

    Kesselring ended an 11-game point drought in the process. The 26-year-old defenseman is currently in a third-pairing role, though he could lose some playing time if the Sabres opt to give the recently acquired Luke Schenn a run in that spot. Through 31 outings, Kesselring has just two assists, 41 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 22 hits and 50 PIM in his first year with the Sabres, which has been disrupted by multiple injury absences.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Sabres' Bowen Byram: Distributes three assists

    Byram logged three assists, seven shots on goal and 12 PIM in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.

    One of his helpers came on the power play. Byram isn't typically one to mix things up, but he got into it as part of a first-period fracas featuring multiple fights and other dust-ups. On offense, Byram has 10 assists over his last 12 outings. He's at 35 points -- three shy of his career-best total from last year -- while adding 87 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 35 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-11 rating in 64 appearances.
