Mattias Samuelsson, Henri Jokiharju Goaltenders Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Devon Levi Notes The Sabres have earned a win in back-to-back games and a win today would give them their second three-game winning streak of the season. Rasmus Dahlin has notched eight points (2+6) in his last six games, including at least one point in back-to-back games (1+2). Dahlin (234 assists) is one assist away from passing Alexei Zhitnik and gaining sole possession of third place all-time in assists by a Sabres defenseman. Tage Thompson is riding a six-game home point streak and he has registered 10 points (5+5) in that span. If he records a point in today’s game, Thompson would become the first Sabres skater to record five or more home point streaks of at least 7 games since Pat LaFontaine recorded his fifth from March 21 to April 16, 1995 (seven games; 8+4). In his last 11 games, Jason Zucker has posted 11 points (3+8). Zucker has recorded at least one point in each of his last six home games (3+4), the longest home point streak of his career. Alex Tuch is riding a three-game point streak and he has registered three points (1+2) in that span. JJ Peterka has registered six points (2+4) in his last six games. Ryan McLeod has notched four points (0+4) in his last four games. In his last three games, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has made 83 saves on 87 shots (.954).
