Peterka scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Jets.
Peterka has three goals over seven games in April. His tally Tuesday got him to the 25-goal mark on the season, a level he's reached in three straight campaigns. He's at 46 points, 156 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 81 appearances, with his drop from last year's point total (68) being due to less success in setting up teammates and a notably smaller power-play role in his first year with the Mammoth.

Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.
Peterka opened the scoring just 1:53 into the game, though the Mammoth gave the early lead away just 11 seconds later.

He's up to 24 goals, 45 points, 148 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 77 appearances. Peterka hasn't found the same quality of opportunities in his first year in Utah as he did over the previous two seasons in Buffalo, leading to a decline in offense.

Mammoth's JJ Peterka: Nets goal in win
Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Peterka's tally put the Mammoth ahead 4-2 in the third period, the first of three goals for the visitors in that frame. This ended an eight-game goal drought for the winger, who had three assists in that span.

He's now at 23 goals, 44 points, 143 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 75 appearances.

Mammoth's JJ Peterka: Forces overtime Thursday
Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Peterka has just two goals over seven contests in March, though he's added 18 shots on net. The 24-year-old winger remains in a middle-six role, but he's logged less than 15 minutes of ice time in six straight outings. Through 66 games this season, he has 22 goals, 40 points, 131 shots on net and a plus-8 rating. Without a steady stream of top-line minutes, Peterka is just a fine offense-only option in fantasy.

Rotowire
Peterka recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Mammoth's JJ Peterka: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
After Carolina's Shayne Gostisbehere scored late in the third period to tie the game at two apiece, Peterka responded within 19 seconds with a goal of his own to help the Mammoth take the lead back. Overall, the 24-year-old winger is up to 19 goals, 35 points and 108 shots on net across 54 games this season. Over his last eight games, he's been a relatively steady goal scorer with four twine finders to go with an assist and 13 shots on net. While his playmaking this season has taken a step back compared to the 41 helpers he posted with the Sabres a season ago, he's on track to at least match his career high of 28 goals from the 2023-24 campaign. Peterka remains a solid player across most standard fantasy leagues thanks to his high goal-scoring upside.

Mammoth's JJ Peterka: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal on two shots, supplied an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

The 23-year-old winger is up to 16 goals, 32 points, 97 shots on net, 20 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 47 outings overall. He's on pace to finish right around the 27 goals he had last year with the Sabres, but he hasn't done as much playmaking in his first campaign with the Mammoth.

Mammoth's JJ Peterka: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
Peterka scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added two PIM in Friday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Peterka had the first of the Mammoth's two empty-netters. The winger is continuing to find success in a top-line role -- he's earned four goals and four helpers over seven contests in December. For the season, he's at 13 goals, 24 points, 68 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across 33 appearances. He's behind the pace necessary to match his 68-point total from 2024-25 with the Sabres, but he's been scoring more efficiently and could finish with his first 30-goal campaign if he doesn't fade in that area.

Rotowire

Mammoth's JJ Peterka: Tallies again in overtime loss
Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Peterka was dropped to the third line for this contest but still saw 16:25 of ice time. He has three points over his last two games, so he may stay lower in the lineup until his offense fades. Michael Carcone moved up to take his spot on the second line, and Carcone's style is better suited to the bottom six. Overall, Peterka has six goals, 13 points, 36 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Peterka hasn't logged a power-play point yet after picking up 18 of his 68 points with the man advantage last year, so he could still unlock a little more offense.

Mammoth's JJ Peterka: Trio of helpers Thursday
Rotowire
Peterka dished out three assists and fired two shots on target in Thursday's 7-4 win over St. Louis.
Peterka shared the puck extremely well Thursday with helpers on goals scored by Ian Cole, Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller. The 23-year-old Peterka is up to five assists, seven points and 14 shots on net through eight appearances this season. The rising star's first season with the Mammoth is going swimmingly, as he has solidified himself a spot on the second line alongside Cooley and Dylan Guenther. With 68 points a season ago, Peterka could easily hit that number or more while playing top-six minutes on one of the league's best offenses to open the campaign.

Sabres' JJ Peterka: Contributes two points in win
Rotowire
Peterka scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Peterka ended the year with eight goals and nine assists over his last 16 games after returning from a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old had a total of 27 goals and 68 points, the latter mark being a personal best. He added 173 shots on net, 30 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 77 appearances. Peterka's offense could still grow a little more, but fantasy managers should expect him to spend the bulk of his career as a 60-to-70-point player.

Sabres' JJ Peterka: Point streak at five games
Rotowire
Peterka recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
Peterka has three goals and three assists during his five-game point streak. He's gotten on the scoresheet in 12 of 14 contests since March 20, racking up seven tallies and eight helpers. The winger's offense is not in doubt -- he's up to 66 points and 167 shots over 75 appearances this season, a big step up from his 50-point campaign in 2023-24. At 23 years old, he's still got a couple more years of growth in his game, so Peterka should be a popular offense-only pick in fantasy drafts next fall.
