Eakin notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old is just two seasons removed from a 22-goal, 41-point campaign, but his first season with the Sabres isn't exactly off to a flying start, as Saturday's point was his first in nine games. Eakin will continue to fill a checking role for Buffalo, and the team doesn't have enough wing depth to provide much fantasy upside for its third-line center.
