EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen has yet to light the lamp this season, but he does have 11 helpers to his name. The 22-year-old is the top option among defenseman on the Sabres, although he's yet to finish a campaign with a positive rating in his career. Through 22 contests he sits at minus-5 and it's doubtful that improves.
