Peterka scored two goals, one the game-winner and the other on the power play, and added an assist with the man advantage in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres' top line of Peterka, Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch combined for four goals and nine points on the night. Peterka has broken out for eight goals and 11 points over the last 11 games, and the 22-year-old winger is closing in on a couple milestones -- he needs one more point for his first career 50-point campaign and two more tallies to reach 30 goals for the first time.

Peterka scored an empty-net goal on five shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka wasn't able to help out on any of linemate Tage Thompson's four goals, but he was able to extend his own goal streak. The 22-year-old Peterka has scored in four straight games, netting five goals in that span. The winger is at 26 tallies, 46 points, 197 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 74 contests overall. He's been on the top line lately, a role that should continue to allow him to flourish.

Peterka scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka opened the scoring 1:38 into the first period, picking up a loose puck in the slot before beating Stuart Skinner with a wrister.

He's up to 23 goals and 43 points through 71 games this season.

Peterka scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period. He fired a shot at David Rittich that trickled through the netminder and lay in the crease, and Peterka had enough time to completely circle the net and tap the puck home on his backhand before anyone on the Kings' defense reacted. He's delivered three multi-point performances in the last five games, a stretch in which he's piled up five goals and seven points.

Peterka scored two goals Saturday in a 5-2 win over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
He was J.J. on the spot on his first goal, stuffing in a rebound after Kaapo Kahkonen stopped Dylan Cozens' wraparound. Cozens set Peterka up in the third period for a one-timer from the right circle on a 3-on-2. Peterka's two-goal performance Saturday gives him a career-high 34 points through 49 games this season. He delivered 32 points in 77 games during his 2022-23 rookie campaign. The play of Peterka has been a bright spot for the Sabres this season.

Peterka scored twice on four shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
This was Peterka's best game of the season, as he scored the Sabres first two goals before setting up Dylan Cozens for an insurance marker. Peterka hadn't earned a multi-point effort since Nov. 19. The winger has produced seven points over 10 outings in January, offering steady offense in a middle-six role. He's at 16 goals, 16 assists, 128 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 48 contests, production that's roughly in line with what he did over 77 outings last season.

Peterka scored a goal on three shots in a 3-0 victory over Chicago on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka appears to be finding his scoring touch again with two goals and eight shots in his last four outings. This recent offensive performance follows a 12-game goal drought that ran from mid-December to early January. The 22-year-old German has already set a new career high in goals and needs just five more points to reach a new personal best in that category as well.

Peterka notched an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka reached the 10-assist mark with a secondary helper on Zach Benson's first-period goal. Over seven games in December, Peterka's offense has slowed down a bit with two goals and two helpers. He is at 22 points, 84 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 30 contests overall, putting him on pace to easily shatter his rookie-year total of 32 points in 77 games from 2022-23.
