According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Buffalo Sabres have signed defenseman Olen Zellweger to a three-year contract with an average annual value around $3 million.

The Sabres just acquired Zellweger from the Anaheim Ducks last week in exchange for Anton Wahlberg and the 45th overall pick of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft. Now, they have locked up the left-shot defenseman to a multi-year contract. 

Zellweger appeared in 76 games last season with the Ducks, where he scored seven goals and set new career highs with 15 assists and 22 points. This is after the 22-year-old blueliner had seven goals and 20 points in 82 games with the Ducks during the 2024-25 season. 

In 164 games over three NHL seasons, Zellweger has recorded 16 goals, 35 assists, and 51 points.
