Mattias Samuelsson - First point since returnSamuelsson notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
ImpactThe helper was Samuelsson's first point in three outings since he returned from missing 12 games due to a lower-body issue. He has gotten the chance to play because Rasmus Dahlin (back) is on injured reserve, but Samuelsson could lose playing time once the Sabres' blue line is at full strength. For the year, Samuelsson has two points, 19 shots on net, 26 hits and 18 blocked shots over 16 appearances.

Zach Benson - Earns helper with move to top lineBenson notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
ImpactThe Sabres are in a brutal skid, so lines may shuffle frequently until they get on track. In Sunday's game, Benson was promoted to play alongside Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch, setting up the latter's goal at 2:46 of the first period. The 19-year-old Benson has four points over seven contests in December, giving him a total of 10 points, 34 shots on net and 28 PIM through 25 outings this season. He's talented, but he's often been limited to the middle six, so fantasy managers may want to wait and see if his top-line turn lasts more than a handful of games.

JJ Peterka - Two helpers in lossPeterka recorded two assists, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
ImpactPeterka had a mixed bag Sunday. He set up both of Jack Quinn's goals, including one on the power play, but Peterka continues to have some problems with being on the ice when the opponent scores. The 22-year-old winger is at 20 points, 59 shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-9 rating through 29 appearances this season, playing mainly in a top-six role.

Chris Tanev - Contributes assist in winTanev logged an assist, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.
ImpactTanev has actually been steady on offense with three assists over his last six games. The 34-year-old defenseman is not typically a source of offense, but he is reliable for blocked shots, though he has failed to record a block in two of the last three contests. Overall, he has nine points, 15 shots on net, 16 PIM, a plus-10 rating and 90 blocks through 31 appearances.
