Owen Power - Plucks apple in loss Power notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Power has four points over his last four contests. The 21-year-old defenseman continues to find ways to chip in while serving in a top-four role. He's up to 28 points, 91 shots on net, 96 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 64 appearances. He likely doesn't have time to match last year's 35-point campaign, but a late surge on offense could change that.

Tage Thompson - Garners late assist Thompson notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Thompson set up the second of Rasmus Dahlin's goals, which came with 22 seconds left in the game. With three goals and four assists over his last six outings, Thompson is surging and giving the Sabres a chance to compete for a playoff spot. The 26-year-old forward is up to 42 points, 210 shots on net, 62 hits and a minus-8 rating through 59 outings. Compared to his 94-point campaign from last season, he's been a significant disappointment in fantasy this year, but he's still a top-six forward that can make a heavy impact.

Alex Tuch - Contributes two more assists Tuch notched two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact This was Tuch's second multi-point effort in a row after going 16 games without one. He helped out on both of Rasmus Dahlin's goals in Tuesday's loss. Tuch is firmly in a top-six role, one that's helped him produce 46 points, 156 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 58 hits and a plus-2 rating over 63 appearances this season.

Rasmus Dahlin - Scores both goals in loss Dahlin scored twice on four shots, blocked four shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Dahlin snapped a nine-game goal drought with his pair of third-period goals. The defenseman had four helpers during that span. The 23-year-old is at a career-high 17 goals while adding 35 assists, 200 shots on net, 163 hits, 133 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 69 appearances. His offense is notably down from last season, but he still does enough overall to be a strong fantasy blueliner.

Devon Levi - Takes narrow loss Levi stopped 31 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Levi was solid behind a Sabres team that didn't have its best play in the second half of a back-to-back. While Levi played well, it's unclear if that will be enough to keep him in the NHL once the Sabres' road trip through Western Canada comes to a close next week. The 22-year-old is at 9-8-2 with a 3.24 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 21 appearances this season. The Sabres continue the trip Thursday in Edmonton, but that game will likely see Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen back between the pipes.

Devon Levi - Tending twine in Vancouver Levi will start on the road versus the Canucks on Tuesday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Impact Levi will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen guided the Sabres to a 6-2 win over the Kraken on Monday. This will be Levi's first NHL appearance since Jan. 24, and it comes against one of the best teams in the league, so he won't have much streaming appeal in fantasy.

Jacob Bryson - Hands out assist Monday Bryson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Bryson has picked up three points over nine contests in March. The 26-year-old continues to see steady playing time in a third-pairing role -- he has played regularly since Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) was ruled out for the season and Erik Johnson was traded to the Flyers. Bryson has six points, 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 23 outings overall.

Peyton Krebs - Generates helper in win Krebs logged an assist, four PIM, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Krebs remains mired in a goal drought, which is now up to 27 contests. He has just seven helpers in that span, and he's not contributing much else to offset the lack of scoring. The 23-year-old shouldn't be expected to rise above a third-line role with such limited offense. He's at 14 points, 63 shots on net, 61 PIM, 72 hits and a plus-5 rating through 67 appearances on the year.

Dylan Cozens - Nabs assist in win Cozens logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Cozens has three points over his last four contests, but he'd gone four games without a point prior to that. The 23-year-old remains in a top-six role despite some inconsistency on offense this month. He's up to 41 points, 171 shots on net, 87 hits and a minus-3 rating through 66 appearances.
MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Greenway - Produces assist in win Greenway logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Greenway's goal drought is now at 13 games, but he has three helpers over his last four contests. The 27-year-old winger has bounced around the lineup at times, but he's been firmly in a top-six role for most of the campaign. He's produced 24 points, 86 shots on net, 115 hits, 53 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 56 appearances.

JJ Peterka - Chips in with assist Peterka logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Peterka took a shot that deflected off multiple players and a post before Owen Power knocked in a rebound from the left side of the net. This was Peterka's third point in the last four games. The winger is up to 21 goals, 20 assists, 180 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 69 appearances this season while mainly playing in a middle-six role.
MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE
Zemgus Girgensons - Provides pair of helpers Girgensons notched two assists, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Girgensons earned his first multi-point effort of the season by assisting on goals from Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch in the first period. In recent games, Girgensons has held down a top-line role at even strength. It's paying off -- he has six points over nine outings in March, accounting for half of his offense through 51 contests overall. The 30-year-old forward has added 63 shots on net, 118 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-5 rating.
