Collects first assist of campaign Malenstyn logged an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact The helper was Malenstyn's first point in nine outings this season. He's in a fourth-line role, and while he'll play regularly as a penalty killer, he has little scoring upside. The 27-year-old forward has earned 13 shots on net, 30 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating so far.

Back with team Malenstyn (personal) rejoined the Sabres on Wednesday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

Impact Malenstyn missed Monday's 4-2 loss to Montreal. He had been designated as a non-roster player during his absence, but Buffalo reassigned Josh Dunne to AHL Rochester on Wednesday to accommodate Malenstyn's return. The 27-year-old Malenstyn has no points, a minus-2 rating, three shots, 13 hits and four blocks in five outings this year.

Dealing with personal matter Malenstyn (personal) has been designated as a non-roster player, according to the NHL media site.

Impact The Sabres announced Monday that Malenstyn will be absent for a couple of days because of a personal matter. As a result, the 27-year-old forward will miss at least Monday's matchup against Montreal. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Due to Malenstyn's absence, Josh Dunne will probably be in the lineup against the Canadiens on Monday.

Good for start of camp Malenstyn (undisclosed) took part in Thursday's practice, per Heather Engel of NHL.com, which suggests that he's healthy for the start of training camp.

Impact Malenstyn missed Buffalo's final two games of the 2024-25 campaign because of the injury. He had four goals, 10 points, 29 PIM and 191 hits in 76 appearances with the Sabres in 2024-25. Malenstyn will probably start the upcoming campaign on the fourth line.

Won't play in season finale Malenstyn (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's season finale against Philadelphia, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Impact Malenstyn is set to close the campaign with four goals, 10 points, 29 PIM, 191 hits and 63 blocks in 76 outings. He's set to continue working for the Sabres' next season on the back half of his two-year, $2.7 million contract.

Ruled out Tuesday Malenstyn will not be in the lineup versus Toronto on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Malenstyn is currently mired in a 38-game goal drought during which he has garnered a meager two assists, so few fantasy players figure to be impacted by his absence. With the winger shelved, the Sabres will need to bring a player up from the minors to face the Leafs -- with Isak Rosen a strong candidate to earn the promotion from AHL Rochester.

Ends dry spell with helper Malenstyn notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Malenstyn ended a 25-game point drought with a helper on Tyson Kozak's second-period goal. The 27-year-old Malenstyn has mostly played in a fourth-line role this season, but even he couldn't miss out on contributing in a game where 14 of the Sabres' 18 skaters earned a point. For the season, he's produced 10 points, 55 shots on net, 174 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 67 appearances.

MARCH 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling on offense Malenstyn's point drought reached 23 games in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact Malenstyn has a minus-11 rating, 17 shots on net, 67 hits and 16 blocked shots in that span. The 27-year-old has mostly played on the fourth line this season, but a drought of this length is a bit much for even the least goal-oriented players. His first season as a Sabre has been disappointing with just nine points, a minus-16 rating, 53 shots on net, 167 hits, 52 blocked shots and 25 PIM across 64 appearances.

Available Saturday Malenstyn (back) is expected to be an option for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

Won't play Saturday Malenstyn (back) will miss Saturday's clash against Nashville, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Impact Malenstyn has four goals, nine points, 125 hits and 42 blocks in 50 appearances in 2024-25. Tyson Kozak (illness) was activated off injured reserve, so Malenstyn's exit from the lineup coincidentally coincides with Kozak drawing back in.

Battling back spasms Malenstyn exited Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets due to back spasms, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Malenstyn came off the ice clutching his back after a shift on the penalty kill and did not return. The 27-year-old will have some extra time to get things in order, as the Sabres don't play again until Saturday's game in Nashville. If he can't suit up, Sam Lafferty will likely draw back into the lineup.

Generates assist in return Malenstyn posted an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Malenstyn helped out on a Ryan McLeod tally within the first minute of the game. After missing three contests due to an illness, Malenstyn showed no ill effects Wednesday, with his 15:05 of ice time ranking fourth among Sabres forwards. The 26-year-old winger has nine points, 36 shots on net, 100 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 41 appearances, primarily in a bottom-six role.

Full practice participant Malenstyn (illness) completed a full practice Monday, clearing the way for him to suit up against the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Impact Malenstyn looks poised to return to action for the first time since Jan. 4 versus the Golden Knights, a stretch of three games on the shelf due to his illness. In his first season with the Sabres, the 26-year-old center has recorded four goals and four assists and is behind his 2023-24 pace when he notched 21 goals in 81 outings with the Capitals.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Malenstyn (illness) is expected to miss Saturday's tilt against Seattle, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Impact Malenstyn also missed the Sabres' previous two games. He has four goals and eight points in 40 appearances in 2024-25. Malenstyn primarily serves on the fourth line when healthy.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Malenstyn (illness) will be a game-time decision versus Seattle on Saturday, per Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic.

Impact Malenstyn has missed the last two games with the illness. He partook in practice Friday but his status will not be determined until closer to game time. Malenstyn has four goals, four assists and 96 hits across 40 outings this season.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't travel to Ottawa Malenstyn (illness) won't travel with the Sabres ahead of Thursday's road matchup against the Senators, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Malenstyn continues to deal with an illness, and he'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game Thursday. Tyson Kozak was recalled by Buffalo on Wednesday and should enter the lineup while Malenstyn and Jiri Kulich (lower body) are unavailable.

JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Malenstyn is dealing with an illness and seems unlikely to play against the Capitals, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Malenstyn hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he'll likely be unavailable for Monday's home game against Washington. He should be considered day-to-day at this point, while Sam Lafferty will likely return to the lineup if Malenstyn is unavailable Monday.
