Sabres' Henri Jokiharju: Checks back in after scratches
Jokiharju logged 18:42 of ice time, earning two blocked shots, two shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Kings.
Jokiharju was a fixture in the lineup for the first month of the Sabres' season, but he sat out six straight games from Nov. 5-16. The 25-year-old was back in the lineup Wednesday since Mattias Samuelsson (lower body) is on injured reserve and Dennis Gilbert was rotated out of the lineup after failing to impress while playing five of the six contests Jokiharju was scratched for. The uncertainty in Jokiharju's playing time takes away most of the already-minimal fantasy value he had heading into the season. The defenseman has three points, 19 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-6 rating through 13 appearances.

Sabres' Henri Jokiharju: Scores game-winner Saturday
Jokiharju scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
Jokiharju's second-period goal was the game-winner as well as his first point through four contests. The 25-year-old defenseman plays more of a stay-at-home role, often on the top pairing to allow Rasmus Dahlin to roam the ice. Jokiharju has added six shots on net, five blocked shots and four hits this season. He's yet to score more than four goals or produce more than 20 points in a single season.

Jokiharju signed a one-year, $3.1 million contract with the Sabres on Friday.
Jokiharju was a restricted free agent after completing his three-year, $7.5 million deal. He had three goals, 20 points, a plus-14 rating, 92 hits and 106 blocks in 74 outings in 2023-24. He'll likely serve in a top-four capacity during the upcoming campaign.

Sabres' Henri Jokiharju: Chips in with helper
Jokiharju notched an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
Jokiharju had gone six games without a point entering Friday. He's a defensive presence in a top-four role, but that's an assignment that doesn't tend to lead to much offense. On the year, Jokiharju has 16 points, 78 shots on net, 81 hits, 96 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 66 appearances.

Sabres' Henri Jokiharju: Big night breaks long slumps
Jokiharju scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 overtime win over Minnesota on Saturday.
Jokiharju completed Buffalo's comeback with the overtime winner just 1:29 into the extra frame. His big multi-point performance snapped a 24-game scoreless drought and a 31-game goalless slump. He doesn't put up many points, but his plus-9 rating is second-best on the team. His stability helps the Sabres, but he is better off left on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Sabres' Henri Jokiharju: Produces lone goal in loss
Jokiharju scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Flyers.
Jokiharju saw a season-high 21:03 of ice time Friday with Mattias Samuelsson (lower body) leaving the game early. The goal was Jokiharju's first of the season to go with five assists over 11 contests. If Samuelsson misses time, Jokiharju may be one of the players to pick up extra minutes in a top-four role. The 24-year-old Jokiharju also has 19 blocked shots, 13 shots on net and a plus-5 rating while filling a stay-at-home role on the Sabres' blue line.

The defenseman has added seven shots on net, four hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while playing in a bottom-four role. His career high in points is 19 in 60 outings from 2021-22, but he could challenge that mark if he stays consistent this year.
