Peterka posted an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka made some mistakes and was benched for most of the second period. He was back in action in the third and helped out on a Tage Thompson tally in the final minute. Peterka has struggled lately with two points over his last 11 outings despite seeing top-six minutes throughout that span. He's at eight goals, 10 helpers, 58 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 27 contests. Peterka's still just 22 years old, so there will be some things head coach Lindy Ruff will want to instill in his game. With the Sabres in the midst of an eight-game skid, it appears the bench boss is turning to tough-love techniques to get his message through to the players.

The 22-year-old winger has four goals, four helpers, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through eight appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka missed two games with a concussion, but he's shown no signs of rust since his return with three goals in two games.

The 22-year-old had 28 goals and 50 points in 82 regular-season contests a year ago, so this may be the last year he's available at a bargain in fantasy if his game continues to grow.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka will return to the lineup after missing the previous two games due to a concussion.

In addition to lining up on the top line, Peterka should be in the mix for power-play opportunities.
