Peterka was traded to the Mammoth from the Sabres on Wednesday in exchange for Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports, Peterka will also sign a five-year, $38.5 million contract with the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka is the best player in the deal right now, and he brings an instant boost to the Mammoth's top six and power play. The winger broke out with 68 points in 77 games last season in his third full NHL campaign with the Sabres. Peterka can play on either wing, but it's unclear if he'll slot onto the first line or the second line to begin his time with the Mammoth. In terms of production, this should be a roughly lateral move for the 23-year-old. The extension comes in at a $7.7 million cap hit, which cements Peterka's status as a core forward for Utah for the remainder of the decade.

Peterka scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka ended the year with eight goals and nine assists over his last 16 games after returning from a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old had a total of 27 goals and 68 points, the latter mark being a personal best. He added 173 shots on net, 30 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 77 appearances. Peterka's offense could still grow a little more, but fantasy managers should expect him to spend the bulk of his career as a 60-to-70-point player.

Peterka recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has three goals and three assists during his five-game point streak. Looking back to March 20, he's gotten on the scoresheet in 12 of 14 contests, racking up seven tallies and eight helpers. The winger's offense is not in doubt -- he's up to 66 points and 167 shots over 75 appearances this season, a big step up from his 50-point campaign in 2023-24. At 23 years old, he's still got a couple more years of growth in his game, so Peterka should be a popular offense-only pick in fantasy drafts next fall.

Peterka produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old winger helped set up Rasmus Dahlin for the game's opening goal late in the first period, then forced OT with his own tally midway through the third. Peterka is having an impressive finish to the season for the Sabres -- over 13 games since returning from a lower-body injury, he's recorded seven goals and 14 points. He needs two more goals in the team's last three games to tie the career-high 28 he scored in 2023-24.

Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has scored in back-to-back games and has three goals and five assists over his last seven outings. The winger's tally opened the scoring at 11:54 of the first period Thursday. Peterka is up to 25 goals, 63 points, 166 shots on net, 29 hits, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 73 contests in 2024-25. He continues to have ample scoring upside, and there are four games left on the Sabres' schedule for him to add to his totals.

Peterka scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka stretched the lead to 3-0 early in the third period when he converted on a feed from Jack Quinn. Over 11 games since he returned from a lower-body injury, Peterka has five goals, six assists and 27 shots on net. The 23-year-old winger is up to 24 tallies, 62 points, 163 shots on net, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 72 contests in a top-six role this season.

Peterka recorded two power-play assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has four goals and four assists over seven contests since returning from a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old winger has taken his play to new heights in 2024-25, earning 23 goals, 36 helpers, 151 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 68 appearances. He's had just three droughts of three or more games, so he's also been consistent on offense when healthy.

Peterka produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The Sabres' second line of Peterka, Jack Quinn and Ryan McLeod combined for three goals and eight points on the afternoon to keep the final score somewhat respectable. Peterka has had a big March despite missing three games in the middle of the month to a lower-body injury, and over his last 12 appearances he's collected six goals and 13 points. The 23-year-old needs two more tallies over Buffalo's final 10 games to record his second straight 25-goal campaign, and he's three points away from reaching 60 for the first time.

Peterka scored a goal and recorded two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has found the back of the net in each of the Sabres' last three contests, tallying eight shots in that span, though in the last two games he's needed just one shot to score. Peterka is aiming to end the season on a strong note, but it's worth mentioning he's been playing at a high level for the last few weeks. Since the beginning of February and over a 15-game stretch, the 23-year-old has recorded 14 points (eight goals, six assists), 37 shots, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a minus-5 rating.

Peterka scored Buffalo's only goal in a 4-1 loss to Minnesota on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka snapped Filip Gustavsson's shutout bid at 6:48 of the third period when he wired a wrist shot from the right hash marks off the rush. He has a goal in two straight games after missing three due to an injury and has earned at least one point in nine of his last 11 outings. Peteraka has six goals, six assists and 28 shots in that span.
