Notes
Buffalo has earned at least one point in four of its last five contests in Vancouver (3-1-1).
Rasmus Dahlin has recorded seven points (1+6) in his last five games, including at least one point in three straight contests. On Dec. 3 at Philadelphia, Dahlin surpassed Henrik Tallinder (532 games played with Buffalo) and gained sole possession of 11th place on Buffalo’s all-time list for games played by a defenseman. Dahlin is two games away from surpassing Jerry Korab (537 games played; 10th all-time) and moving into the top 10 on Buffalo’s all-time list.
Josh Doan has notched 10 points (5+5) in his last 10 games, including at least one point in back-to-back games (2+1). His current stretch represents the longest span of games in his career in which he registered at least a point per game. Doan would match the longest point streak of his career (five times) with a point in tonight’s game.
Tage Thompson has recorded five points (2+3) in his last five games, including at least one goal in back-to-back contests. A goal tonight would mark Thompson’s second goal streak of at least three games this season.
Alex Tuch has scored a goal in consecutive games and a goal tonight would mark his first goal streak of three or more games since he registered a four-game goal streak from March 27 to April 1, 2025 (5+3).
The Sabres have recorded at least one power-play goal in five consecutive games dating back to Dec. 1 at Winnipeg.
A power-play goal in tonight’s game would give Buffalo its first power-play goal streak of six or more games since Nov. 5 to 20, 2024 (7 games).
