Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Set to start Saturday Luukkonen is expected to start on the road against Detroit on Saturday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
Impact Luukkonen will attempt to rebound after stopping 26 of 31 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Florida on Monday. He's 3-3-1 with a 3.31 GAA and an .890 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Detroit has a 4-5-1 record and ranks 24th offensively with 2.70 goals per game.

HockeyBuzz.com - Ben Shelley - Isles end losing skid with win over Sabres, but injuries continue to mount NHL Hockey Trade Rumors
NOVEMBER 2 • HOCKEYBUZZ.COM
Dylan Cozens - Finds first goal of season Cozens scored a power-play goal, added three hits and logged two PIM in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Cozens opened the season with no points over five games. His offense has started to come around, but he hadn't scored until his opening tally 9:03 into Friday's game. He's collected four points, 33 shots on net, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 11 contests overall. Given Cozens has maintained a healthy shot volume, his struggles appear to be simply bad luck rather than poor performance, and he remains in a spot to succeed on the second line and first power-play unit.

Jacob Bryson - Regular presence in press box Bryson hasn't played in any of the Sabres' first 11 games of the season.
Impact Bryson signed a one-year deal with the Sabres on July 1 after they left him unqualified as a restricted free agent. The 26-year-old defenseman is with the big club as injury insurance, but he appears to be No. 8 on the depth chart, and that's led to him receiving no game action with the team's defense corps staying healthy in October. Bryson could push Connor Clifton for a spot on the third pairing, though Dennis Gilbert is also in the mix to play if head coach Lindy Ruff shuffles up his defense.

Dennis Gilbert - Awaiting opportunities Gilbert has played in just one of the Sabres' first 11 games.
Impact Gilbert, a Buffalo native, played at home Oct. 12 versus the Panthers, logging three hits and a blocked shot in 4:49 of ice time. While not much has gone well for the Sabres at 4-6-1, they have a pretty firmly set top-four on defense, and that group has enjoyed good health early on. Gilbert could get the occasional look over Matias Samuelsson or Connor Clifton, but it's unlikely he'll see steady playing time this season.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Lafferty - Filling fourth-line role Lafferty has no points through his first 10 appearances of the season.
Impact Lafferty has been scratched only once, though he saw a season-low 6:44 of ice time in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders. The 29-year-old can chip in some depth scoring -- he had 24 points in 74 regular-season outings with the Canucks last year. He's added 15 hits, eight PIM and three shots on goal in 2024-25, and until he displays a scoring touch, he can be overlooked in fantasy.

Owen Power - Extends point streak in loss Power scored a goal on six shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Power cut New York's lead to one late in the third period, but it wasn't enough as Buffalo fell short of pulling off a two-goal comeback. The 21-year-old defenseman extended his point streak to six games after tallying Friday, and he's racked up two goals and six assists during that span. The left-shot blueliner is making great strides in his fourth NHL season -- he's tied for second on the team in points with nine. Overall, Power has generated three goals, six assists, 24 shots,16 blocks, six hits and four takeaways across 11 appearances.

Bowen Byram - Registers two apples in loss Byram registered two even-strength assists in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Byram recorded a pair of secondary helpers in the third period of Buffalo's comeback attempt versus New York. The left-shot blueliner offered three shots, one hit, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in 21:49 of ice time. It was the second time this season Byram has produced a multi-point effort, and through 11 games, the 23-year-old is up to one goal, five assists and an even plus-minus rating.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Zucker - Two points in loss Zucker found the back of the net and added an assist in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Zucker has now scored in three consecutive contests, and he is on a three-game point streak after Friday's two-point performance. The left-shot winger is providing solid fantasy value in a middle-six role while filling a spot on the top power-play unit. Zucker is in a three-way tie for second on the team in points with nine (three goals, six assists). The 32-year-old has added 14 shots, three blocks, five hits and a plus-1 rating across 11 outings.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Devon Levi - Tagged with loss Friday Levi allowed four goals on 36 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Levi performed admirably in Friday's loss, but he didn't receive much help from his teammates in the defensive zone. The 22-year-old's last start before Friday was Oct. 17 in a 6-4 loss to Columbus, so he shouldn't be on most fantasy manager's radars due to his inconsistent playing time. The Quebec native and fellow netminder Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen have both struggled early on as Buffalo is off to a sluggish 4-6-1 start. Levi is sporting a 1-3-0 record, .878 save percentage and 3.91 GAA through four appearances.
