Soucy notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

Soucy ended a 10-game slump when he set up a Phil Di Giuseppe tally in the second period. It's nine contests and counting since Soucy saw more than 20 minutes of ice time, and combined with his natural skill set leaning on the defensive side, he's unlikely to score often. He's at seven points, 49 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 73 hits, 38 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 46 appearances.

Hughes notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

Hughes has four goals and five assists over eight contests since he returned from an undisclosed injury, but he also has a minus rating in five of those games. The defenseman set up an Elias Pettersson tally in the second period of Tuesday's loss. Hughes is up to 51 points (20 on the power play), 125 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 42 appearances.

Jokiharju's point drought reached 26 games in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

He's been scratched 15 times during that slump. The 25-year-old blueliner is no longer a full-time part of the Sabres' lineup, and he offers mostly defensive depth when he plays. Jokiharju is stuck on three points while adding 41 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-3 rating over 32 appearances.

Dahlin notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Dahlin is warming up again with three helpers over two contests to begin the Sabres' current road trip. The 24-year-old defenseman had a hand in both goals during the third period as the Sabres came back from a 2-1 deficit. Dahlin is now at six goals, 28 assists, 107 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 44 hits and a plus-3 rating over 39 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

Nurse posted an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

Nurse has three helpers over his last five outings. The defenseman set up a Leon Draisaitl tally in the first period. Overall, Nurse is up to 20 points, 110 shots on net, 75 hits, 73 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 44 appearances. While usually a very physical player, this was the third time this season Nurse was held to zero in both hits and blocked shots.

Carlson logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Carlson helped out on a Tom Wilson tally in the first period. The 35-year-old Carlson has five points over his last eight outings. He's up to four goals, 25 helpers, 101 shots on net, 82 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 47 appearances. Carlson may not match last year's 52-point output, but he should be capable of getting back over the 40-point mark.

Roy scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Roy has three points over his last seven outings, but this was his first goal since Nov. 23. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes in a shutdown role for the Capitals, leading to limited looks on offense. He's produced two goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net, 81 hits, 67 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 37 contests this season.

Heiskanen produced an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Heiskanen has a helper in consecutive contests and four points over his last eight games. The 25-year-old blueliner hasn't been able to get to his usual level of offense in 2024-25, amassing 22 points over 47 outings. He's added 104 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating and continues to see plenty of ice time in a top-pairing role.

Harley scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Harley finished a feed from Wyatt Johnston to tie the game at 1-1 midway through the third period, but the Hurricanes retook the lead for good just 24 seconds later. Through 11 outings in January, Harley has racked up three goals, three assists and 27 shots on net. The defenseman has seven tallies, 16 helpers, 102 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 45 contests overall.

Walker notched an assist, six shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.

Walker ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. He took a shot that banked in past Jake Oettinger off the body of Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Walker has been fairly limited on offense this season with 10 points and 812 shots on net over 48 outings. The 30-year-old has added 54 blocked shots, 49 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating while filling a bottom-four role.
