Zach Benson - Two helpers FridayBenson picked up two assists in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

ImpactHe helped set up two Jack Quinn tallies, the first of which proved to be the game-winner. Benson has produced back-to-back two-point efforts and has four multi-point performances in the last 12 games, but he was held off the scoresheet entirely in the other eight contests. On the season, the 18-year-old has chipped in nine goals and 27 points over 66 games.

Tage Thompson - Two-point effort against PhillyThompson produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

ImpactThe 26-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the first period, putting a slick move on Ivan Fedotov to beat the Russian in his first NHL start. Thompson has delivered six multi-point performances in the last 12 games as Buffalo tries to steal a playoff spot, racking up nine goals and 18 points over that stretch.

Jack Quinn - Two goals including winner FridayQuinn scored two goals including the game-winner in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Flyers.

ImpactIt's the first multi-goal performance of the season for Quinn, and it couldn't have come at a better time as the Sabres try to catch the Flyers for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The 22-year-old forward has had trouble staying healthy in 2023-24, suiting up for only 22 games, but he's been productive when he's been on the ice and has seven goals and 15 points.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Big win over PhillyLuukkonen stopped 32 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

ImpactHe was by far the busier netminder, as Philadelphia out-shot Buffalo 34-19, but Luukkonen came up big once again for a Sabres squad that refuses to fade out of the playoff picture. Luukkonen has gone 8-5-1 since the beginning of March with a 2.81 GAA and .903 save percentage, but he may need to heat up again to get Buffalo across the finish line -- the team is now only four points back of Philly for the final postseason berth in the Eastern Conference, but Washington, Detroit and Pittsburgh all sit between the two.
