HockeyBuzz.com - Zak MacMillan - CBJ G4 v Buffalo Sabres — Danny Debut NHL Hockey Trade Rumors
Jordan Greenway - Continues strong start Greenway scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact Greenway has scored in back-to-back games and now has three points over five contests. The winger has added 11 shots on net, 15 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role. Greenway has finished with a 0.5-points-per-game pace just once in his career, and that came in the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign. As such, he's best suited as a streaming option for fantasy until he can sustain his pace over a longer stretch.

Ryan McLeod - Nets first goal with new team McLeod scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact McLeod's Sabres career got off to a slow start with no points over his first three games. With the team's offense showing more life, he's picked up a goal and an assist over the last two contests while filling a third-line role with minimal power-play time. The 25-year-old center was acquired from Edmonton over the summer after racking up 30 points in 81 regular-season games in 2023-24. He should be able to produce at a similar rate this year.

Tage Thompson - Finds twine in overtime loss Thompson scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact Thompson gave the Sabres a hot start, scoring 43 seconds into the game as part of a three-goal first period. The center has scored three goals over five games this season, including in each of the last two contests. He's also shooting at a high rate, notching at least three shots in each game with a total of 17 for the season. He's yet to record a power-play point, but Thompson should eventually be productive in that area as well.

Bowen Byram - Picks up two assists against Pens Byram collected two assists in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact It's the first multi-point performance of the season for Byram, who came into the game with just one assist in four contests. The 23-year-old blueliner has the talent befitting the fourth overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, but Byram is behind Rasmus Dahlin (first overall in 2018) and Owen Power (first overall in 2021) in the pecking order for power-play time, limiting his fantasy upside.

Alex Tuch - Busy in Wednesday's OT loss Tuch recorded two assists and added five shots, three blocked shots, two PIM, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact The 28-year-old winger was all over the scoresheet, and both of Tuch's helpers came in the first period as the Sabres surged out to a 3-1 lead. He curiously didn't see a power-play shift for the first time this season, but he hasn't needed it so far, racking up two goals and six points in the last four contests.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Zucker - Two helpers in OT loss Zucker picked up two assists in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact The veteran winger had a hand in a Jordan Greenway tally in the first period and a Ryan McLeod goal in the third that gave Buffalo its last lead of the night. After being held off the scoresheet in the first three games of the season, Zucker has notched three helpers in the last two.

JJ Peterka - Lights lamp twice in return Peterka scored two goals on four shots with a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact After missing the prior two games due to a concussion, Peterka roared back onto the ice with his first two tallies of the season. The 22-year-old led all Buffalo forwards in even-strength ice time as he reclaimed his spot on the top line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch, and if he stays healthy, Peterka could build on last season's breakout 28 goals and 50 points.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Can't hold lead in OT loss Luukkonen made 37 saves in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Impact The Sabres held a 3-1 lead after the first period, but Luukkonen couldn't make it hold up on a night when both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin turned back the clock en route to some big personal milestones. After a breakout 2023-24 campaign, Luukkonen has stumbled out of the gate this season, going 0-2-1 with a 3.69 GAA and .874 save percentage in three starts.
