Noah Ostlund - Adds two power-play assists Ostlund logged two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Ostlund has three helpers over his last two outings. The 21-year-old is still prone to being an occasional scratch -- he sat out Monday's game versus the Panthers -- but he's been fairly steady in a middle-six role lately. He's up to a total of 15 points, 37 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 34 appearances this season. Ostlund has potential, but his usage still isn't ideal for fantasy managers in standard formats.

Colten Ellis - Nets another win Ellis made 20 saves in a 5-3 win over Montreal on Thursday.

Impact Ellis is currently with the Sabres while Alex Lyon (lower body) is on injured reserve. He is 2-1-0 in three starts since he was summoned from the AHL. He has allowed eight goals in those three games. Lyon was on a seven-game winning streak before he got hurt, and he's about eight days into a 7-10 day absence. There have been no reports that he has resumed skating, so it looks like Ellis will be with the Sabres for a bit longer.

Alex Tuch - Six-game, seven-point streak Tuch put up a goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Tuch is on a six-game, seven-point streak (four goals, three assists), and he has 16 goals, 23 assists and 110 shots in 45 games this season. Tuch is on pace to top 70 points this season. If he's successful, it would be his second NHL season with at least 70 points. He set his career mark of 79 points in 2022-23.
