Tyson Kozak - Remains out for Sunday's game Kozak (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Devils, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Impact Kozak was unavailable for Saturday's matchup against the Islanders due to his upper-body injury, and he'll remain sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set Sunday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his final opportunity to suit up before the holiday break will be Tuesday against Ottawa.

Peyton Krebs - Reaches double-digit assists Krebs recorded an assist, blocked a shot and dished out three hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact Krebs played a hand in Tage Thompson's goal midway through the second period, which gave the Sabres a 2-0 lead. With the apple, Krebs is up to 10 assists, 39 shots on goal, 84 hits and 20 blocks through 34 outings this season. While he is yet to score a goal this season, the 24-year-old forward has three helpers in his last six outings. With Jason Zucker (lower body) likely out until after Christmas Day, Krebs has moved up to the Sabres' top line and should see heightened usage in the interim. While he lacks the high-end scoring potential of other Buffalo forwards, his category coverage of 84 hits, which ranks second on the team, gives him decent streaming value in deep fantasy formats for the time being.

Josh Norris - Scores winning tally in shootout Norris scored in the shootout and had two shots on goal in a 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Norris sent the Sabres' home with a win after he tallied the winning score in Saturday's shootout. Despite getting involved in the shootout, the 26-year-old center was held off the scoresheet for the first time in his last seven games since his return from an upper body injury. Overall, he is up to nine points and 16 shots on net through eight appearances this season. When healthy, Norris is a near lock to see top-six minutes and is strong fantasy option in all point-based formats.

Jack Quinn - Tallies to extend shootout Quinn scored in the shootout and had two shots on goal in a 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Quinn recorded a wrist-shot tally to score Buffalo's first tally in Saturday's shootout. Despite not tallying a point in regulation to extend his three-game point streak, the 24-year-old forward has been solid this season with 18 points and 63 shots on net across 34 games. Quinn is one of many exciting young forwards in the Sabres' top nine and he sees a decent portion of ice time alongside Zach Benson and Ryan McLeod on the team's third line. If he receives an increase to his role down the stretch of the season, he could see some added value in deep fantasy leagues.

Josh Doan - Distributes helper Saturday Doan tallied an assist and placed two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact Doan slid the primary helper on his linemate Tage Thompson's goal midway through the second period. With the helper, Doan is up to 14 assists, 24 points, 87 shots on net and 30 hits through 34 games this season. While he's already set career highs in most of the major stat categories offensively, he moved just one shot shy of tying the 88 shots on goal he had through 51 games a season ago. The 23-year-old forward is in a fantastic spot to continue to produce points on the Sabres' top line. His breakout campaign is just getting started, leaving him with plenty of opportunities to secure a new contract with Buffalo once his current deal expires at the end of the 2025-26 season. Doan is on pace for 58 points this season if he can stay healthy, giving him solid value in most fantasy leagues for the rest of the year.

Tage Thompson - Goal streak up to six Thompson scored a goal and put four shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact Thompson maintained his elite stretch of play Saturday, as he doubled the Sabres' lead midway through the second period. With the twine finder, he is up to 18 goals, 31 points, 123 shots on net and 37 hits through 34 games this season. The 28-year-old forward has been on fire as of late, as he used Saturday's score to extend his goal streak to six games. He has added three assists and 22 shots on goal during that stretch, proving that he hasn't lost a step in his ability to maintain a high shot volume. With the 2026 Winter Olympic Games roster selections right around the corner, Thompson is heating up at the right time to make a strong case for his inclusion on Team USA. With 40-plus goal potential, Thompson's category coverage makes him an elite player in fantasy even after his goal streak ends.

Rasmus Dahlin - Nets opening goal in win Dahlin scored a power-play goal and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact Dahlin sparked the Sabres' offense with a power-play tally less than two minutes into regulation. With the twine finder, the 25-year-old blueliner is up to four goals, 27 points, 86 shots on net and 36 blocks across 31 games this season. After a stretch of offensive inconsistencies throughout November, Dahlin has three goals and 10 points in his last seven games. He is well on track to reach the 50-plus point mark for the fifth consecutive season and remains a high-level defenseman who averages over a block per game in all fantasy formats.

Alex Lyon - Holds on for shootout win Lyon stopped 32 of 34 shots on goal and registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact After Lyon allowed the game-tying goal with 29 seconds remaining in regulation, he bounced back quickly and made two crucial saves near the end of the shootout to help the Sabres secure the win. He also recorded a rare goalie helper on a power play for his first assist of the season. With the win, the 33-year-old goaltender now has an 8-6-3 record with a 2.92 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 19 outings this season. With Saturday's win, Lyon extended his win streak to five consecutive games and has completely flipped a switch during that run. Before the win streak, he had a sub-.900 save percentage and a 3.23 GAA. Over the last six games, he has a 2.17 GAA and a .924 save percentage. Lyon's proven ability to bounce back has been on full display as of late, making him a top waiver-wire pickup to stream in most two-goalie formats.
