Peterka (lower body) is slated to return to action against Utah on Thursday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka missed the last three games due to a lower-body injury but was trending toward returning to action for Thursday's matchup. The 23-year-old will officially be able to suit up, and he's recorded four goals, six assists, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over nine appearances since the 4 Nations break.

Peterka (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bruins, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Peterka will be unavailable for a third consecutive game, head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that the 23-year-old winger is on track to play in Thursday's game against Utah. Brett Murray will likely enter the lineup for the shorthanded Sabres against Boston.

Peterka (lower body) will not play Saturday against Vegas, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka is "feeling a lot better" according to coach Lindy Ruff and will travel with the team when the Sabres begin a four-game road trip Monday in Boston. Peterka has 19 goals, 32 assists and 136 shots on goal over 61 outings this season.

Peterka (lower body) is expected to miss Wednesday's tilt against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has 19 goals and 51 points in 61 appearances in 2024-25. His exit from the lineup coincides with the anticipated return of Jiri Kulich (illness). Coach Lindy Ruff believes Peterka will miss a game or two, which suggests that this should be a short-term absence.

Peterka is being evaluated for a lower-body injury and his status for Wednesday's game in Detroit has yet to be determined, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka was unable to practice Tuesday, and according to Engel, his lower-body injury has been a lingering issue. With that in mind, the Sabres may opt to rest Peterka on Wednesday -- the club will have two days off after facing the Red Wings before Saturday's home matchup against Vegas. If the 23-year-old winger is forced to miss any time, Zach Benson could slide into a top-six role.

Peterka scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-5 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka pushed the Sabres up 5-3 at 12:40 of the second when he forced a turnover by Nikita Kucherov and fired a snap shot from the right circle past Andrei Vasilevskiy's glove. The young forward is on a seven-game, 10-point scoring streak. It includes four goals and six assists. Peterka has been one of the few bright lights in the city of fires this season. He has 19 goals, 32 assists and 133 shots in 59 games this season. He also passed his career mark of 50 points Thursday.

Peterka scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-2 loss to San Jose on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka fired a one-timer from the right circle on a first-period power play to knot the game 1-1. He's on a six-game, eight-point scoring streak (three goals, five assists), and he's one point from equaling his career-high 50 points set last season. Peterka's offensive growth is real. At 23, he's already sitting in a tie with Rasmus Dahlin for second in team scoring.

Peterka picked up two assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Both helpers came in the third period as the Sabres completed a rally from an early 3-0 deficit, but they couldn't finish the job in OT. Peterka extended his point streak to five games in the process, and over his last 13 contests, he's piled up an impressive seven goals and 15 points. The 23-year-old winger is just three points away from tying the career-high 50 he amassed in 2023-24.

Peterka scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has scored in back-to-back games and has six tallies and three assists over his last eight contests. In that span, he's also posted 21 shots on net and a plus-7 rating. The 23-year-old winger continues to impress as a scorer, earning 44 points, 122 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 55 outings this season, though he adds little in the way of non-scoring production.

Peterka scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka's goal sparked the Sabres' third-period comeback -- he got them on the board at 1:56 of the final frame. The winger has earned six goals and five assists over his last 10 outings as he continues to be a steady source of offense. For the season, he's up to 16 goals, 43 points, 120 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. He's on pace to surpass last year's career-high 50 points by a fairly wide margin.
