Pair of helpers Sunday McLeod distributed two assists and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over Carolina.

Impact McLeod had the primary helper on each of the Sabres' first two goals, scored by Alex Tuch and Jack Quinn respectively. With the pair of apples, McLeod is up to eight assists, 13 points and 31 shots on net through 22 games this season. After an up-and-down start to the season, the 26-year-old center is currently on the rise again with back-to-back multi-point performances. He's been a strong developing option for the Sabres over the past two seasons and is on track to challenge the 53-point mark, his career high that he set in 79 games a year ago. With both Josh Norris (upper-body) and Jiri Kulich (ear) on injured reserve, McLeod should continue to skate top-six minutes for the Sabres, which gives him decent fantasy value in deep leagues.

Scores, assists Friday McLeod scored an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact McLeod snapped a two-game point drought with two goal contributions in what turned out to be a very productive performance for Buffalo -- each of the top-six forwards recorded at least two points. McLeod hasn't been very productive of late despite holding a steady top-six role, though. He had four points (two goals, two assists) in 10 appearances since the beginning of November.

Nets shorthanded goal McLeod scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact McLeod had been limited to just one assist over his previous seven games. The 26-year-old center came up clutch while killing a penalty in the third period, tying the game and ultimately forcing overtime, where Mattias Samuelsson lifted the Sabres to a comeback win. McLeod is up to four goals, including two shorties, as well as five assists, 22 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 18 appearances. He remains a key part of the Sabres' top six and sees ice time in all situations.

Produces goal Tuesday McLeod scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact McLeod is on a four-game point streak, earning a goal and four assists in that span. The second-line center has three tallies, seven points, 11 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 10 appearances this season. He's logged a shot on goal in just five contests so far, though he is not known for being a high-volume shooter after scoring 20 goals on just 97 shots in 2024-25.

Distributes two helpers McLeod notched two assists and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

Impact McLeod has four points through seven contests, but they've come in a pair of two-point performances. His effort Wednesday saw him set up a Jack Quinn power-play tally at 4:15 of the third period before feeding Josh Doan at even strength a few minutes later. McLeod has added nine shots on net, six blocks and a minus-2 rating this season while filling a second-line role at even strength. He'll need to show more consistency on offense to be an option for fantasy managers, though he's worth a look if that happens considering his 20-goal, 53-point campaign in 2024-25.

Lights lamp twice in win McLeod scored two goals, one shorthanded, in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Senators.

Impact The 26-year-old center took advantage of an Ottawa turnover to pocket a shortie in the second period that tied the game at 2-2, then McLeod snapped home an insurance tally early in the third. The goals were his first points in four games to begin the campaign, but he's been seeing a consistent shift on the second power-play unit along with his middle-six duties at even strength and spot on the penalty kill. McLeod delivered a career-high 20 goals and 53 points in 79 regular-season games in 2024-25, and that level of production seems repeatable this season.
