JJ Peterka - NHL News & Rumors

Fourteen points in last 13 games Peterka had two assists in a 6-2 loss to Seattle on Saturday.

Impact Peterka has 14 points, including 12 assists, and 27 shots in his last 13 games. He has 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) and 86 shots in 41 games this season, and his 11.6 shooting percentage is right around his career mark of 11.4. While he's on pace for a new career high in points, Peterka needs to increase his shot volume dramatically to come close to the 226 he put up last season when he scored 28 times. He's a sniper, so the goals will go up when the shots go up.

Two-point effort against Caps Peterka produced two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.

Impact He also beat Charlie Lindgren in the final round of the shootout for the winning tally. Peterka has been on a tear since mid-December, churning out three goals and 12 points over the last 11 games with four of those points (one goal and three helpers) coming on the power play.

Produces power-play helper Peterka notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact The winger has a helper in consecutive contests and four assists over six games since his last goal. Peterka's ice time was back up to 16:47 in Saturday's outing, his highest total in five games. He remains on the third line for now, but with the Sabres having lost three straight, any potential lineup shuffle would likely benefit the 22-year-old. Peterka has a total of 28 points (eight on the power play), 77 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 38 appearances.

Contributes assist in overtime loss Peterka notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Peterka's 11:53 of ice time Thursday was his lowest total this season in a game where he wasn't injured. While he's earned 10 points over his last 11 outings, he's been shuffled down to a third-line role, which limits his upside in the near future. The 22-year-old has 10 goals, 27 points, 75 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 37 outings overall, so he remains on track to surpass his 50-point output from last year.

Strikes on power play Saturday Peterka scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Peterka has broken out of a slump, racking up two goals and five assists over his last six games. Notably, he's done much of it on the second line, though his role on the first power-play unit should help to stabilize his offense. The 22-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, 24 points (seven on the power play), 65 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 32 appearances this season.

Two points Friday Peterka posted one goal and one assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Peterka participated in two of the Sabres' goals in this defeat, scoring the team's first goal and setting up Mattias Samuelsson's tally, both in the second period. Peterka has recorded points in three games in a row, and he's one of the most productive players in a struggling Buffalo team. On the season, the 22-year-old is up to nine goals and 23 points across 31 games while also adding 61 shots, 16 hits, five blocked shots and a minus-9 rating.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two helpers in loss Peterka recorded two assists, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Peterka 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.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snags assist after benching Peterka posted an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Peterka made some mistakes and was benched for most of the second period. He was back in action in the third and helped out on a Tage Thompson tally in the final minute. Peterka has struggled lately with two points over his last 11 outings despite seeing top-six minutes throughout that span. He's at eight goals, 10 helpers, 58 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 27 contests. Peterka's still just 22 years old, so there will be some things head coach Lindy Ruff will want to instill in his game. With the Sabres in the midst of an eight-game skid, it appears the bench boss is turning to tough-love techniques to get his message through to the players.

Snaps slump in loss Peterka scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Peterka gave the Sabres a 3-0 lead just 6:50 into the game. It snapped a six-game dry spell for the winger, who had posted a six-game point streak prior to his slump. He's had some trouble generating offense from the second line, though he's still seeing significant usage at even strength and on the power play. Peterka has eight goals, nine helpers, 49 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 23 outings this season.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Extends point streak to six games Peterka logged an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact During his six-game point streak, Peterka has three goals and five assists. The 22-year-old winger has flown under the radar to an extent this year, though he's been steady when healthy while playing on the Sabres' top line. He's up to seven goals, nine helpers, 36 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 16 appearances. Peterka is in line to shatter his career-best mark of 50 points from last season.

Three-point effort against Sens Peterka scored two power-play goals and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

Snags helper Monday Peterka recorded a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Peterka has gone three games without a goal, but he has two assists in that span. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, four helpers, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through eight appearances this season. His helper Monday was his first power-play point of the campaign, and he should continue to be productive in that area as long as he stays on the Sabres' first unit.

Game-winner, assist against Chicago Peterka scored the game-winning goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Peterka set up Tage Thompson on the opening tally at 8:39 of the first period, and the two reversed roles just under 30 minutes of game time later. Peterka's tally was the game-winner, his first such goal this season. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, two assists, 10 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through five contests. He's off to an excellent start on the Sabres' top line, which makes him a smart addition for fantasy managers in need of offense.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays warm Thursday Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Peterka missed two games with a concussion, but he's shown no signs of rust since his return with three goals in two games. The winger is a popular breakout candidate this year with a spot on the Sabres' top line. He's produced four points, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating. The 22-year-old had 28 goals and 50 points in 82 regular-season contests a year ago, so this may be the last year he's available at a bargain in fantasy if his game continues to grow.
