  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Joins Crosby and Gretzky with mark

    Celebrini scored for the fourth straight game in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres.

    He has four goals in that span and nine points (five goals, four assists) on his current six-game scoring streak. Celebrini's goal Tuesday gave him 90 points (33 goals, 57 assists) this season. He did it in 62 games. Celebrini joins some epic company on the list of teenagers who reach the 90-point mark quickly. He needed the third-fewest games in NHL history behind Sidney Crosby (54 games in 2006-07) and Wayne Gretzky (56 games in 1979-80) to hit that height.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Best season in close to decade

    Wennberg had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Buffalo on Tuesday.

    His goal came on the power play. It cut the score to 5-3 early in the third frame. Wennberg is having his best offensive season since he set a career mark with 59 points back in 2016-17. He has 13 goals and 28 assists in 62 games. Tuesday's game was Wennberg's first multi-point game since Jan. 6.

  • Alex Lyon G | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Lyon: Fourth straight win

    Lyon made 17 saves in a 6-3 win over San Jose on Tuesday.

    Lyon has won his last four starts and continues to deliver career numbers. He is 18-8-3 with two shutouts, a 2.65 GAA and .914 save percentage. Lyon is in a strict alternating platoon with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, which means UPL will likely take on the Caps on Thursday, with Lyon back in the paint Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

  • Jason Zucker LW | BUF

    Sabres' Jason Zucker: Team leader in game-winning goals

    Zucker had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

    Zucker's goal -- his 20th of the season -- stood as the winner. He is on a three-game goal streak (four goals, two assists), and he has 12 shots in that span. Zucker leads the Sabres with five game-winning goals despite playing in just 46 games. In comparison, Tage Thompson, who has played in 65 games, has four.

  • Ryan McLeod C | BUF

    Sabres' Ryan McLeod: Three helpers in win

    McLeod had three assists in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

    McLeod has four assists over his last two games and six points, including five assists, over his last five games. His 48 points (12 goals, 36 assists) in 65 games put McLeod on pace for his first-ever 60-point season. He's been a strong fit on the second line, and his leadership has been in invaluable to the Sabres.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Three-game, seven-point streak

    Dahlin had three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over San Jose.

    Dahlin is on a three-game, seven-point scoring streak. He has five PIM and four shots in that span. Dahlin has 60 points in 61 games, a pace that would see him flirt with a career mark in points. His best season came in 2022-23 when he delivered 73 points (15 goals, 58 assists) in 78 games.

  • Jack Quinn RW | BUF

    Sabres' Jack Quinn: Scoring outburst sets career firsts

    Quinn scored a hat trick and had an assist in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

    It was Quinn's first hattie and first four-point game in the NHL. He ended a 12-game goal drought. Quinn's teammates were raving to reporters about the forward after the game: "Every practice, every day, he's in here in the shooting room working on his game," said Beck Malenstyn. "He has such a knack for scoring, such a gift to be able to do it. He contorts his body in ways that I think my back would go out if I tried to, and what he can put on the puck is just incredible." Quinn had been quiet since the break, putting up just two assists in seven games prior to Tuesday. Overall, the winger has 15 goals, 28 assists and 141 shots in 65 games. That puts him on pace where he could finish with a career-best 55 points this season.

  • Janis Moser D | TB

    Lightning's J.J. Moser: Four points in last two games

    Moser scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Columbus.

    It was a point shot through traffic. Moser has four points, including two goals, in his last two games. His two shots Tuesday pushed him to 94 this season -- that's a career high. Moser has seven goals and 17 assists in 61 games this season. Those seven goals equal his career mark, which he set in Arizona in 2022-23.

  • Thomas Milic G | WPG

    Jets' Thomas Milic: Back-to-back AHL shutouts

    Milic logged a 30-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 4-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

    Milic has recorded shutouts in consecutive games, giving him three on the year. He's up to 14-7-4 with a 2.39 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Milic's recent momentum could position him well for a call-up if something happens to one of the Jets' NHL netminders.

  • Jets' Morgan Barron: Finds twine in Tuesday's loss

    Barron scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

    Barron has three goals on nine shots over his last three contests. The 27-year-old's tally opened the scoring Tuesday, but the Ducks took control with two goals in a span of 14 seconds just over a minute after Barron scored. Barron has 10 goals, 20 points, 84 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-7 rating through 54 appearances this season. He's one goal and one point shy of matching his career highs in each category.
