Top John-Jason Peterka News

  • Sabres' JJ Peterka: Fourteen points in last 13 games

    Peterka had two assists in a 6-2 loss to Seattle on Saturday.

    Peterka has 14 points, including 12 assists, and 27 shots in his last 13 games. He has 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) and 86 shots in 41 games this season, and his 11.6 shooting percentage is right around his career mark of 11.4. While he's on pace for a new career high in points, Peterka needs to increase his shot volume dramatically to come close to the 226 he put up last season when he scored 28 times. He's a sniper, so the goals will go up when the shots go up.

  • Sabres' JJ Peterka: Two-point effort against Caps

    Peterka produced two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.

    He also beat Charlie Lindgren in the final round of the shootout for the winning tally. Peterka has been on a tear since mid-December, churning out three goals and 12 points over the last 11 games with four of those points (one goal and three helpers) coming on the power play.

  • Sabres' JJ Peterka: Produces power-play helper

    Peterka notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

    The winger has a helper in consecutive contests and four assists over six games since his last goal. Peterka's ice time was back up to 16:47 in Saturday's outing, his highest total in five games. He remains on the third line for now, but with the Sabres having lost three straight, any potential lineup shuffle would likely benefit the 22-year-old. Peterka has a total of 28 points (eight on the power play), 77 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 38 appearances.

  • Sabres' JJ Peterka: Contributes assist in overtime loss

    Peterka notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Peterka's 11:53 of ice time Thursday was his lowest total this season in a game where he wasn't injured. While he's earned 10 points over his last 11 outings, he's been shuffled down to a third-line role, which limits his upside in the near future. The 22-year-old has 10 goals, 27 points, 75 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 37 outings overall, so he remains on track to surpass his 50-point output from last year.

  • Sabres' JJ Peterka: Strikes on power play Saturday

    Peterka scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.

    Peterka has broken out of a slump, racking up two goals and five assists over his last six games. Notably, he's done much of it on the second line, though his role on the first power-play unit should help stabilize his offense. The 22-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, 24 points (seven on the power play), 65 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 32 appearances this season.

  • Sabres' J.J. Peterka: Two points Friday

    Peterka posted one goal and one assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Peterka tallied the team's first goal before setting up Mattias Samuelsson's marker, both in the second period. Peterka has recorded points in three straight games and is one of the most productive players for the struggling Sabres. On the season, the 22-year-old is up to nine goals and 23 points across 31 games while also adding 61 shots, 16 hits, five blocked shots and a minus-9 rating.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Two helpers in loss

    Peterka recorded two assists, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Peterka had a mixed bag Sunday. He set up both of Jack Quinn's goals, including one on the power play, but Peterka continues to have some problems with being on the ice when the opponent scores. The 22-year-old winger is at 20 points, 59 shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-9 rating through 29 appearances this season, playing mainly in a top-six role.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Snags assist after benching

    Peterka posted an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Peterka made some mistakes and was benched for most of the second period. He was back in action in the third and helped out on a Tage Thompson tally in the final minute. Peterka has struggled lately with two points over his last 11 outings despite seeing top-six minutes throughout that span. He's at eight goals, 10 helpers, 58 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 27 contests. Peterka's still just 22 years old, so there will be some things head coach Lindy Ruff will want to instill in his game. With the Sabres in the midst of an eight-game skid, it appears the bench boss is turning to tough-love techniques to get his message through to the players.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Snaps slump in loss

    Peterka scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.

    Peterka gave the Sabres a 3-0 lead just 6:50 into the game. It snapped a six-game dry spell for the winger, who had posted a six-game point streak prior to his slump. He's had some trouble generating offense from the second line, though he's still seeing significant usage at even strength and on the power play. Peterka has eight goals, nine helpers, 49 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 23 outings this season.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Extends point streak to six games

    Peterka logged an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

    During his six-game point streak, Peterka has three goals and five assists. The 22-year-old winger has flown under the radar to an extent this year, though he's been steady when healthy while playing on the Sabres' top line. He's up to seven goals, nine helpers, 36 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 16 appearances. Peterka is in line to shatter his career-best mark of 50 points from last season.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Nets goal in loss

    Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Canadiens.

    Peterka stretched his point streak to four games, a span in which he has accumulated three goals and three helpers. The winger is exceeding expectations early in 2024-25 with seven goals, seven assists, 32 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 14 appearances. He's earned four of his points on the power play and continues to see top-six minutes, averaging 17:54 of ice time.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Three-point effort against Sens

    Peterka scored two power-play goals and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

    He opened the scoring early in the first period, shoveling a Jason Zucker feed past Linus Ullmark from the side of the Ottawa net, then scored the night's final tally midway through the third on a one-timer from the faceoff dot. The power-play goals were Peterka's first of the season, and the 22-year-old is up to six goals and 11 points in his 11 games as he races toward a breakout campaign.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Snags helper Monday

    Peterka recorded a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

    Peterka has gone three games without a goal, but he has two assists in that span. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, four helpers, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through eight appearances this season. His helper Monday was his first power-play point of the campaign, and he should continue to be productive in that area as long as he stays on the Sabres' first unit.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Game-winner, assist against Chicago

    Peterka scored the game-winning goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Peterka set up Tage Thompson on the opening tally at 8:39 of the first period, and the two reversed roles just under 30 minutes of game time later. Peterka's tally was the game-winner, his first such goal this season. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, two assists, 10 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through five contests. He's off to an excellent start on the Sabres' top line, making him a worthwhile addition for fantasy managers in need of offensive firepower.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Stays warm Thursday

    Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Peterka missed two games with a concussion, but he's shown no signs of rust since his return with three goals in two games. The winger is a popular breakout candidate this year with a spot on the Sabres' top line. He's produced four points, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating. The 22-year-old had 28 goals and 50 points in 82 regular-season contests a year ago, so this may be the last year he's available at a bargain in fantasy if his game continues to grow.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Lights lamp twice in return

    Peterka scored two goals on four shots with a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.

    After missing the prior two games due to a concussion, Peterka roared back onto the ice with his first two tallies of the season. The 22-year-old led all Buffalo forwards in even-strength ice time as he reclaimed his spot on the top line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch, and if he stays healthy, Peterka could build on last season's breakout 28 goals and 50 points.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Playing Wednesday

    Peterka (concussion) will be in action versus the Penguins on Wednesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Peterka will return to the lineup after missing the previous two games due to a concussion. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old winger had generated just one assist to go with one hit and two shots. In addition to lining up on the top line, Peterka should be in the mix for power-play opportunities.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Questionable against Penguins

    Peterka (concussion) will be a 50/50 call ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Peterka looks close to getting back in the lineup after missing the Sabres' last two matchups due to his concussion. If given the all-clear, the 22-year-old winger should be in line for both a top-six role in addition to linking up with one of the power-play units. If Peterka remains sidelined, Zach Benson figures to make his third straight appearance in the lineup.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Out Saturday

    Peterka (concussion) won't play Saturday against the Panthers, Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report reports.

    It'll be the second game Peterka's missed after sustaining a concussion in the NHL Global Series against the Devils earlier this month. The 22-year-old Peterka was able to practice Friday, so it appears he could return as soon as Wednesday against the Penguins. Jiri Kulich figures to remain in a top-six role while Peterka is unavailable.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Practicing Friday

    Peterka (concussion) practiced Friday, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

    Peterka was injured Saturday in Prague and missed Thursday's game versus Los Angeles. It appears that Peterka has a chance to return to the lineup Saturday against Florida, as this is his third straight practice this week. Should Peterka return, he is likely to be back on the top line, alongside Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch.
