Top Sam Lafferty News

  • Sabres' Sam Lafferty: Finds twine Thursday

    Lafferty scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

    The goal was Lafferty's first point through 13 appearances this season. The Sabres got contributions from all over the lineup Thursday, which has been a bit of a rarity early in 2024-25. Lafferty has added seven shots on net, 18 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating while averaging 9:49 of ice time per game in a fourth-line role.

  • Sabres' Sam Lafferty: Filling fourth-line role

    Lafferty has no points through his first 10 appearances of the season.

    Lafferty has been scratched only once, though he saw a season-low 6:44 of ice time in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders. The 29-year-old can chip in some depth scoring -- he had 24 points in 74 regular-season outings with the Canucks last year. He's added 15 hits, eight PIM and three shots on goal in 2024-25, but until he displays a scoring touch, he can be overlooked in fantasy.

  • Sabres' Sam Lafferty: Signs two-year deal

    Lafferty signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Sabres on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Lafferty had 13 goals, 24 points and 192 hits in 79 regular-season contests with the Canucks in 2023-24. He might get a bit more ice time with Buffalo than he did in Vancouver -- he averaged 11:53 last season -- but the 29-year-old shouldn't be counted on to consistently serve in anything more than a third-line role.

  • Sam Lafferty: Rights moved in Mikheyev trade

    Lafferty's negotiating rights, along with Ilya Mikheyev and a second-round pick in 2027, were traded to the Blackhawks from the Canucks for a fourth-round pick in 2027 on Wednesday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

    Lafferty had not agreed to a contract at the time of the trade, but the Blackhawks will have until Sunday night to negotiate with him exclusively before free agency opens Monday. If he signs with Chicago, this would be Lafferty's second stint with the team. He earned 32 points over 97 contests across parts of two seasons with the Blackhawks, and he continued his solid depth scoring with 24 points in 79 outings with the Canucks in 2023-24.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Nets goal in Saturday's win

    Lafferty scored a goal, doled out four hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.

    Lafferty opened the scoring late in the first period. The tally snapped his seven-game point drought. The 29-year-old has mainly seen fourth-line usage lately, limiting his ability to get involved on offense. He's at a career-high 13 goals with 11 assists, 76 shots on net, 191 hits and a plus-5 rating through 77 contests overall.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Tallies in loss

    Lafferty scored a goal on two shots and doled out eight hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    Lafferty was one of four Canucks with five or more hits in the contest, but their physicality didn't intimidate the Kings. The goal was Lafferty's first since Feb. 22, and he has just two points over his last 13 games. For the season, the 29-year-old winger is at 23 points, 71 shots on net, 155 hits and a plus-8 rating through 69 appearances.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Chips in with helper

    Lafferty logged an assist, three hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

    Lafferty snapped a 10-game point drought when he assisted on the second of Nikita Zadorov's two goals in the game. The 29-year-old Lafferty has been all over the Canucks' lineup this season, but his recent lack of offense has kept him in a bottom-six role. He's at 22 points, 69 shots on net, 143 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 67 appearances.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Tallies in loss

    Lafferty scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

    The puck didn't take a very direct route in, bouncing off a Kraken defenseman and Lafferty following Pius Suter's shot. The tally was Lafferty's first since Jan. 13, a span of 12 games in which he logged just a single assist. The 28-year-old spent some time in the top six early in the year, but with the Canucks loading up for the playoffs, he's likely to remain on the fourth line when he plays going forward. Lafferty has 11 goals, 21 points, 54 shots on net, 106 hits and a plus-13 rating through 56 appearances.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Scores game-winner for goal No. 10

    Lafferty scored the only goal in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Sabres.

    The 28-year-old had a point shot hit him early in the second period while he was parked in front of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, and Lafferty was able to sweep the loose puck into the net after it fell at his feet. That proved to be all the offense Thatcher Demko would need. Lafferty's bottom-six role doesn't afford him much of a fantasy ceiling, but he's still on pace for a career best season with 10 goals and 19 points in 43 games -- although that goal-scoring pace is buoyed by a 21.7 shooting percentage that likely isn't sustainable.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Records helper Tuesday

    Lafferty posted an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

    Lafferty set up the first of Pius Suter's two goals in the game. Since dropping back into a bottom-six role, Lafferty has two points and three shots on net over his last six outings. For the season, the 28-year-old winger has 17 points, 40 shots, 55 hits, 25 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 37 appearances. He may bounce around the lineup, but Lafferty's just about a lock to play each game.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Finds twine in win

    Lafferty scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

    Lafferty snapped a six-game point drought with his goal. He started the month on the top line, but Lafferty's slump has seen him slip back to the bottom six now. The 28-year-old is up to nine goals, 16 points, 39 shots on net, 50 hits, 21 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 35 appearances. He's still got a good chance to set career highs across the board, and he's a DFS option for games when he's in the top six.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Grabs pair of points in win

    Lafferty scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, levied three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.

    Lafferty did a little bit of everything except take a penalty in this contest. The 28-year-old opened the scoring in the first period and assisted on Ilya Mikheyev's marker in the second. Lafferty has five points over the last four games since moving up to the top line. For the season, the 28-year-old has 15 points, 36 shots on net, 43 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 28 contests. Fantasy managers may want to stream the winger while he's being featured more prominently, though his newfound usage hasn't included much extra power-play time.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Lights lamp again

    Lafferty scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Devils.

    Lafferty scored for the second game in a row since he joined the top line. He also saw 16:14 of ice time Tuesday, his third-highest mark of the season. The 28-year-old has done everything right in his first year with the Canucks, posting seven goals, six assists, a plus-12 rating, 33 shots on net, 34 hits and 22 PIM over 26 appearances. He'll have some short-term fantasy appeal as long as he's alongside Elias Pettersson at even strength.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Goal, assist in win

    Lafferty scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

    Lafferty seems to adjust well when moved into a top-line role. His last three points -- over a span of five games -- have come when he's playing alongside Elias Pettersson. Lafferty has been solid this season with six tallies, six assists, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 25 outings, though he's mostly been in a bottom-six role.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Scores after first-line move

    Lafferty scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

    Lafferty was listed on the Canucks' first line Friday, replacing Andrei Kuzmenko, who sat as a healthy scratch. The 28-year-old Lafferty was able to cash in on the promotion with a third-period tally to give Vancouver a 3-1 lead. Lafferty has a point in four of his last five games, and he's up to five tallies, 10 points, 25 shots on net, 26 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 21 contests. He plays a strong enough two-way game to work anywhere in the lineup, and it'll also earn him plenty of trust with head coach Rick Tocchet.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Credited with assist

    Lafferty posted an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

    Lafferty has a goal and two helpers over his last four contests. The 28-year-old continues to fill in at center instead of wing with Pius Suter (undisclosed) unavailable. Lafferty is up to nine points, 22 shots on net, 26 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 20 contests overall. He's chipping in enough offense to be of intrigue in deep fantasy formats despite being firmly in a bottom-six role.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Beats buzzer with shorty

    Lafferty scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

    Lafferty's tally just beat the second-period buzzer, and it stood as the game-winner for the Canucks. The 28-year-old forward has mustered just two assists during his eight-game goal drought. Lafferty has been confined to a bottom-six role and penalty-killing duties this season, but he's produced eight points, 22 shots on net, 24 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 19 contests while playing with one of the league's best offenses.

    Lafferty picked up an assist during Thursday's loss to Calgary.

    The assist snapped a four-game point drought for Lafferty, who had a spell of four points in the four games prior.

In 17 games he has seven points, 20 shots, 20 PIM, 22 hits, and a plus-8 rating.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Generates another assist

    Lafferty posted an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

He's up to three goals, six points, 17 shots on net, 14 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 12 contests.

    Lafferty scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 10-1 win over the Sharks.

    Lafferty is warming up again with three points over his last two games. This was the forward's first multi-point effort of the season. The 28-year-old has three goals, two assists, 14 shots on net, 13 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 10 appearances. He's been steady in a bottom-six role, and he could chip in enough offense to draw interest in deep fantasy formats.
