Mattias Samuelsson - Considered day-to-day Samuelsson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, coach Don Granato told Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald on Wednesday.
Impact Samuelsson couldn't complete Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay because of the injury. He has an assist, six hits and seven blocks in three games with the Sabres this season. If he's not available Thursday versus Calgary, then Jacob Bryson might draw into the lineup and make his season debut.

Alex Tuch - Picks up helper in win Tuch registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Lightning.
Impact Tuch finally wrote his name on the scoresheet after going pointless in the opening two contests, though he is still looking for his first goal of the campaign. Through the first three games of the year, Tuch is averaging 2:32 of ice time with the man advantage but has managed just five shots on goal. Tuch is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bets in goals (36), assists (43) and power-play points (20).

The 23-year-old Dahlin signed an eight-year extension with the Sabres after breaking out with 73 points (15 goals, 58 assists) in 78 games last season. He's set up for another big year on Buffalo's top paring while continuing to work the point on the first power-play unit.

Owen Power - Nabs second assist Power logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Lightning.
Impact Power now has two helpers through his first three games after setting up Jeff Skinner's first-period tally Tuesday. The 20-year-old Power signed a seven-year extension with Buffalo in the offseason after tallying 35 points (four goals, 31 assists) in his first full NHL season. He's opened the 2023-24 campaign with Henri Jokiharju on the Sabres second defensive pairing while getting work on the second power-play unit.

Zemgus Girgensons - Scores in win Girgensons scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay.
Impact Girgensons opened the scoring midway through the first period, beating Jonas Johansson with a wrist shot to give the Sabres a 1-0 lead. The 29-year-old forward re-signed with Buffalo in the offseason after posting 10 goals, 18 points and 96 hits in 80 games last season. While his offensive potential is limited, Girgensons should see regular work in a bottom-six role.

It's the first point of the season for the 31-year-old Skinner after he tallied 35 goals and a career-high 82 points in 79 games last year. Skinner should continue to offer solid offensive upside while working on the Sabres' first line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch while also seeing time on the top power-play unit.

Devon Levi - Hangs on for first win Levi stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay.
Impact Levi was solid Tuesday, holding the Lightning to one goal before Brandon Hagel tied the game 2-2 with seven seconds left in regulation. However, he'd hang on to pick up his first win of the season after Dylan Cozens tallied the game-winner in overtime. The 21-year-old Levi has started all three of the Sabres' games to open the campaign, going 1-2-0 with an .890 save percentage, as it appears he'll be given a real chance to run with the starting job in Buffalo.

Mattias Samuelsson - Departs with upper-body injury Samuelsson left Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury.
Impact Samuelsson had an assist and two blocked shots in 17:36 of ice time prior to the injury. He's a defensive rock on the top pairing for the Sabres, so his absence will be felt on the ice, though not so much in fantasy. If he misses additional time, Jacob Bryson would likely draw into the lineup.
