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

Sabres' J.J. Peterka: Two points Friday
Peterka posted one goal and one assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Peterka tallied the team's first goal before setting up Mattias Samuelsson's marker, both in the second period. Peterka has recorded points in three straight games and is one of the most productive players for the struggling Sabres. 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.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: 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.
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.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: 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.
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.

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.

The power-play goals were Peterka's first of the season, and the 22-year-old is up to six goals and 11 points in his 11 games as he races toward a breakout campaign.

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.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: 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.
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.

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

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Lights lamp twice in return
Peterka scored two goals on four shots with a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
After missing the prior two games due to a concussion, Peterka roared back onto the ice with his first two tallies of the season. The 22-year-old led all Buffalo forwards in even-strength ice time as he reclaimed his spot on the top line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch, and if he stays healthy, Peterka could build on last season's breakout 28 goals and 50 points.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Playing Wednesday
Peterka (concussion) will be in action versus the Penguins on Wednesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Peterka will return to the lineup after missing the previous two games due to a concussion. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old winger had generated just one assist to go with one hit and two shots. In addition to lining up on the top line, Peterka should be in the mix for power-play opportunities.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Questionable against Penguins
Peterka (concussion) will be a 50/50 call ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Peterka looks close to getting back in the lineup after missing the Sabres' last two matchups due to his concussion. If given the all-clear, the 22-year-old winger should be in line for both a top-six role in addition to linking up with one of the power-play units. If Peterka remains sidelined, Zach Benson figures to make his third straight appearance in the lineup.

Peterka (concussion) won't play Saturday against the Panthers, Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report reports.
It'll be the second game Peterka's missed after sustaining a concussion in the NHL Global Series against the Devils earlier this month.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Considered day-to-day
Peterka (concussion) is day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with Los Angeles, WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Snags assist Friday
Peterka logged an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Devils in Prague.
Peterka is a breakout candidate this year after producing 50 points (seven on the power play) despite the Sabres' down year as a team in 2023-24. While they lost their 2024-25 regular-season opener, Peterka was able to contribute by setting up Owen Power's third-period goal. Peterka is getting the first chance to fill the vacancy on the top line created by the Sabres' buyout of Jeff Skinner over the summer, and that spot alongside Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch could be a fruitful one.
