Jacob Bryson Goaltenders James Reimer Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Injuries Josh Norris (day-to-day – mid-body) Jordan Greenway (day-to-day – unknown) Notes The Sabres have won four of their last five games against the Senators, including three consecutive wins. A win in today’s game would mark the first time Buffalo has earned four or more straight wins against Ottawa since the team won four straight against the Senators from Nov. 29, 2016 to Dec. 12, 2017. In his last 13 games, Ryan McLeod has posted 16 points (4+12) and has collected 18 points (4+14) in his last 14 road games. McLeod has recorded at least one point in back-to-back games and he has posted four points (1+3) in that span. JJ Peterka has tallied 27 points (13+14) in his last 24 games and he has registered 15 points (6+9) in his last 13 games. Peterka has registered two points in each of his last two games and a multi-point performance tonight would mark the second time he has recorded multiple points in three straight games this season (March 3 to 6, 2025; 2+4). Tage Thompson has posted 40 points (22+18) in his last 38 games, including five points (4+1) in his last five games. Peyton Krebs is riding a career-best four-game point streak and he has tallied five points (2+3) in that span. Jack Quinn has recorded at least one point in four consecutive games and he has tallied eight points (4+4) in that span. In his last five games, Alex Tuch has posted seven points (5+2). Tuch has recorded at least one goal in three straight games and he would match the longest goal streak of his career (three times) with a goal in tonight’s game. Owen Power has notched one assist in three consecutive games and an assist tonight would give him his third four-game assist streak of the season and match the longest assist streak of his career.
