Sabres' Luke Osburn: Racks up three points
Osburn scored a goal and added two assists in the University of Wisconsin's 6-0 win over the University of Minnesota on Saturday.
Osburn is up to four goals and five helpers through eight appearances. The Sabres prospect had 21 points in 33 games with Wisconsin last year, but his offense appears to have grown significantly as a sophomore. Expect him to continue to play a major role for the Badgers in 2026-27.

Sabres' Daxon Rudolph: Buries pair of goals
Rudolph scored twice in the University of Denver's 6-3 win over Arizona State University on Friday.
Rudolph has had no trouble adjusting to college, racking up five goals and six assists over nine outings as a freshman. Rudolph is a Sabres prospect, selected fourth overall in 2026, so he may not need to exhaust all of his NCAA eligibility before turning pro. If he continues to play well this season, he won't have much left to prove in Denver.

Sabres' Conor Timmins: Nabs assist in season debut
Timmins notched an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Timmins missed more than a month of the season due to a lower-body injury. He was activated but scratched Wednesday versus the Senators before drawing in Friday in place of Louis Crevier. Timmins may not fill a full-time role moving forward -- he'll likely compete with Crevier and Zach Metsa for the last spot in the lineup. In 2025-26, Timmins logged eight helpers over 39 regular-season contests in a campaign that was interrupted by a broken leg.

Sabres' Owen Power: Hands out trio of helpers
Power notched three assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Power had gone a season-worst three games without a point prior to this effort, which saw him make up for the recent slump. The 23-year-old defenseman is having a strong campaign so far, earning two goals, 12 helpers, 22 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-7 rating over 16 appearances. With Rasmus Dahlin and Mattias Samuelsson handling the toughest defensive assignments, Power has had more room to thrive on offense, which has him tracking toward shattering his previous career high of 40 points in the 2024-25 season.

Sabres' Josh Doan: Lights lamp in win
Doan scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Doan's offense remains inconsistent early in the season -- he snapped a four-game point drought with this goal. He's scored just three times and added one assist across 16 outings on the year. Doan has moved around the lineup a lot so far, but he's settled into middle-six usage. He's added 30 shots on net, 18 hits, 10 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating, offering a little category coverage for fantasy managers willing to stay patient.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Buries goal Friday
Dahlin scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Dahlin ended a seven-game goal drought with the tally. He remained productive with five assists and a plus-4 rating in that span. The star defenseman is up to three goals, 10 points, 39 shots, 19 hits, 16 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Collects two points in win
Quinn scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Quinn has a pair of multi-point efforts over his last three games. The 25-year-old has started the season well, leading to steady top-six minutes and power-play time, which boosts his scoring potential. He's at nine goals, seven helpers, 44 shots on net, 12 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-5 rating across 16 outings this season.

Sabres' Josh Norris: Tallies twice in win
Norris scored a pair of goals on three shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Norris ended a six-game slump with the pair of tallies. The 27-year-old has had trouble getting his offense going from a bottom-six role lately, especially with his power-play time drying up. He has four goals, one assist, 19 shots on net, 21 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Picks up win over Columbus
Luukkonen stopped 24 of 26 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
This was Luukkonen's second win in a row. After working as the Sabres' primary goalie for much of October, Luukkonen appears to have settled into an even timeshare with Colten Ellis to begin November. Luukkonen is up to 5-3-3 with a 3.27 GAA and an .878 save percentage across 11 games (10 starts) this season. If the goalie rotation holds, Ellis would start Sunday versus the Golden Knights and Luukkonen would face the Lightning on Wednesday.

Sabres' Jack Rathbone: Placed on waivers
Rathbone (undisclosed) was placed on waivers by the Sabres on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Rathbone began the 2026-27 campaign on non-roster injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury, but his placement on waivers suggests that he's ready to return to game action. Assuming he clears waivers, the 27-year-old will report to AHL Rochester.

Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Set to start Friday
Luukkonen is expected to be in goal at home versus the Blue Jackets on Friday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Luukkonen has appeared in 10 games this season, going 4-3-3 with a 3.40 GAA and a career-worst .874 save percentage. At this point, Luukkonen will likely continue to rotate the starts with Colten Ellis, and could face the prospect of even fewer opportunities once Alex Lyon (upper body) is cleared to return.

Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Finally lights lamp
Krebs scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Ottawa.
The 25-year-old center opened the scoring with exactly six minutes left in the second period, tipping home a long-range shot from Tage Thompson. It was Krebs' first goal in 15 games this season to go along with seven assists, but he's provided more value in banger leagues -- he's added 30 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-3 rating to his ledger.

Sabres' Colten Ellis: Wins slips away late Wednesday
Ellis stopped 28 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
The 26-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Shane Pinto banged home a rebound midway through the final frame to tie it up before Michael Amadio scored the winner with just over three minutes left. Ellis has started three of the last four games for the Sabres, going 2-1-0 while allowing eight goals on 88 shots (.909 save percentage) as he takes advantage of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's struggles this season.

Sabres' Jason Polin: Pots pair in AHL win
Polin scored twice in AHL Rochester's 4-1 win over Cleveland on Wednesday.
Polin has seven goals and 11 points over 11 games this season. He's already more than halfway to matching his total from 46 appearances in the 2025-26 regular season with AHL Colorado. Polin's strong scoring rate is propped up by a 31.8 shooting percentage, which he won't sustain all year.

Sabres' Conor Timmins: Available to return
Timmins (lower body) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against Ottawa, coach Lindy Ruff told Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Although Ruff has declared that Timmins is ready, the 28-year-old defenseman is expected to be a healthy scratch Wednesday, according to Bill Hoppe of the Buffalo Hockey Beat. Timmins has been activated from injured reserve, per the NHL media site. It's unclear when he will make his 2026-27 debut, but he will be an option moving forward. He recorded eight assists in 39 regular-season appearances with Buffalo last year.

Sabres' Colten Ellis: Between pipes against Ottawa
Ellis will defend the home crease against the Senators on Wednesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Ellis entered the win column for the first time this season during Saturday's road win over San Jose before getting the night off against the Ducks on Sunday. However, he'll return to the crease Wednesday in a relatively favorable matchup against the Senators, who are tied for 16th in the NHL with 3.13 goals per game this year.
