On the season, he's delivered eight goals and 32 points -- a new career high -- in 53 contests.

Logs helper in return Benson notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Benson returned from an upper-body injury that cost him four games. The 20-year-old winger was on the fourth line Saturday, though he saw a decent 13:39 of ice time. He was in a top-six role for much of January, but he may need to get up to speed again -- while he didn't miss many games, he was out for nearly a month due to the Olympic break. Benson has seven goals, a career-high 20 assists, 75 shots on net, 23 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 43 appearances this season.

Off injured reserve Benson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve Saturday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Impact Benson has seven goals, 26 points, 20 PIM, 75 shots, 21 hits and 15 blocks in 42 appearances in 2025-26. He missed four straight games because of the injury. Anton Wahlberg was returned to AHL Rochester in a corresponding move.

Not returning Friday Benson (upper body) won't return to the lineup Friday versus the Panthers, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

Impact Benson remains on injured reserve. He wasn't expected to return Friday, instead targeting Saturday's game versus the Lightning, likely in an effort to avoid the back-to-back set. Benson will miss his fourth straight game, but it appears he's close to rejoining the Sabres' lineup, at which point he'll likely fill a middle-six role.

Game-time call Benson (upper body) will be a game-time decision in Florida on Friday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact While head coach Lindy Ruff hasn't ruled out Benson against the Panthers, it seems more likely that he will suit up Saturday in Tampa Bay. Benson has missed three games with the injury. He has seven goals and 19 assists in 42 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Put on injured reserve Benson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

Impact Benson was already ruled out of Buffalo's next three games, so he wasn't projected to return before March 3, even before this move. Josh Dunne was taken off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Benson has seven goals and 26 points in 42 outings in 2025-26.

Set to miss road trip Benson (upper body) is not expected to return during the Sabres' three-game road trip, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports Monday.

Impact Benson was already ruled out against the Devils on Wednesday, but it seems his absence will linger a little longer. Considering the 20-year-old winger has already missed two games due to his upper-body problem, fantasy managers can likely expect him to be designated for injured reserve prior to Wednesday's contests.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Wednesday Benson (upper body, undisclosed) is not expected to play Wednesday against the Devils, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact The reason for Wednesday's absence is unrelated to the upper-body injury that caused Benson to miss the last two games before the Olympic break. The 20-year-old has had a strong season so far, registering 26 points (seven goals, 19 assists) in 42 games played for the Sabres this season. Benson will start the post-Olympic break stretch run four points away from matching his most in a season in his young career.

Won't play Thursday Benson (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Penguins, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Impact Benson sustained his upper-body injury during Monday's win over the Panthers, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game heading into the Olympic break as he continues to receive treatment. He'll have several weeks to recover during the league's layoff, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Feb. 25 against New Jersey.
