Tuch scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Tuch picked off a pass and was off to the races, scoring at 5:27 of the third period. His goal stood as the game-winner. The 28-year-old winger has three goals and six assists during his six-game point streak. For the season, he's up to seven tallies (three shorthanded), 21 points, 49 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-11 rating over 21 appearances. Tuch's offense is rarely in question, but his all-around game has taken a step forward in 2024-25 -- perhaps with shades of former Vegas teammate Mark Stone in terms of defensive effort.

Brazeau scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Brazeau netted his fifth goal of the season Saturday when he deflected a shot midway through the first period when the Bruins had the man advantage. The left winger snapped an eight-game goalless drought with this goal, and he also matched his goal tally from the previous campaign. Brazeau is up to nine points (five goals, four assists) in 20 regular-season appearances.

Sasson picked up an assist in his NHL debut Saturday, a 4-3 win over the Senators.

He lured the defense toward him, pulled up and found Teddy Blueger trailing. Sasson played 7:49 and finished plus-1. And he earned the requisite shaving cream bomb from teammates in a TV interview after the game. Sasson is a bottom-six guy with a motor that never quits. His fantasy game is limited, but his enthusiasm is great to watch.

Swayman stopped 19 of 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Swayman could've posted his second shutout of the season if he hadn't surrendered a goal to Lucas Raymond with only 58 seconds left in the second period. It was a bounce-back performance for the 25-year-old Swayman, who had given up 12 goals on 66 shots over his previous two appearances. Through 15 outings, He has a 6-7-2 record with an .886 save percentage.

Gallagher had a power-play and even-strength assist in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Vegas. He added three shots, a block and two hits.

Gallagher had the secondary helper on Emil Heineman's power play marker before picking up the primary assist on Jayden Struble's tally. It has been a renaissance season for the 32-year-old Gallagher, whose two helpers gave him 10 points over the last 12 outings.

Dahlin scored an empty-net goal on five shots, dished an assist, went plus-3, blocked three shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Dahlin contributed in virtually every fantasy category a defenseman can, except for special-teams production. He rebounded nicely after his seven-game point streak ended Friday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks. Dahlin has been among the best blueliners in the NHL for fantasy purposes, racking up six goals, 13 assists, eight power-play points, 64 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 22 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 21 appearances.

Talbot stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Bruins.

Talbot delivered a bounce-back performance Saturday, as he had allowed eight goals on 74 shots over his previous two appearances, but it wasn't enough to get back in the win column. The 37-year-old netminder is now riding a three-game losing streak, going 0-2-1 while stopping 99 of 109 shots for a .908 save percentage in that span.

Reimer stopped 31 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Reimer has had two stints with the Sharks, mostly recently in 2022-23. The 36-year-old made his Buffalo debut after signing with the Sabres in the offseason. He was lost on waivers to the Ducks before ultimately being reclaimed. The netminder is 1-2-0 with 11 goals allowed on 99 shots over three appearances this season. He should improve behind a Sabres team that has established itself as a playoff contender through the first quarter of 2024-25. Reimer's playing time is likely to be limited behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. Still, Reimer should have an opportunity to start next weekend with the Sabres playing at home versus the Canucks on Friday before facing the Islanders on the road Saturday.

Hughes received a game misconduct and five-minute major for boarding in the first period of Saturday's 4-3 win over Ottawa.

He drilled Josh Norris into the boards from behind. It wasn't a hard hit, but Norris was cut and left the game temporarily. The officials had no option but to issue a major on the play -- rule 41.5 issues an automatic game misconduct if "an injury to the face or head of the opponent" occurs on a boarding penalty. Hughes and Norris are close friends who played for the USNTDP and the University of Michigan. Still, a suspension is unlikely.

Struble scored a goal on one shot, blocked one shot and delivered one hit in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Struble snuck up toward the net and took advantage of a rebound to score his first goal of the season. The third-pair defenseman has four points and three assists through 14 outings after recovering from an upper-body injury that cost him the first five games of the year.
