Jacob Bernard-Docker Goaltenders James Reimer Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Injuries Josh Norris (day-to-day – mid-body) Sam Lafferty (day-to-day – groin) Jordan Greenway (day-to-day – unknown) Notes Buffalo has won three of its last four games against Ottawa overall and it has earned a win in four of its last five home contests against the Senators. The Sabres have earned the third-most home wins against the Senators all-time (43), trailing just the Bruins (50) and the Canadiens (47) in that category. The victorious team has registered at least four goals in each of the last seven meetings between the Sabres and the Senators. JJ Peterka has tallied 22 points (12+10) in his last 20 games and he has registered 10 points (5+5) in his last nine games. Peterka has registered 19 points (7+12) in his last 16 home games, including five points (2+3) in his last five home contests. With a goal in tonight’s game, Peterka would match the longest goal streak of his career (March 21 to 29, 2024; four games). Peterka has registered five points (4+1) in his last three home games against the Senators. In his last nine games, Ryan McLeod has posted 11 points (3+8), including one point in back-to-back home games (1+1). Tage Thompson has posted 35 points (18+17) in his last 34 games, including 20 points (12+8) in his last 19. Rasmus Dahlin has registered one point in back-to-back games and a point tonight would give him his seventh point streak of three or more games this season.
