Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Snags helper Monday
Peterka recorded a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Peterka has gone three games without a goal, but he has two assists in that span. 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.

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: 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.

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.
