Peterka is a healthy scratch Friday against the Flyers, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has five points over his last four games and it's a bit surprising that he's being scratched. Victor Olofsson will skate on the second line in his absence. It's unclear if Peterka will be back in the lineup Sunday against Boston.

Peterka logged a pair of helpers in Monday's 4-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka set up Jack Quinn's tally in the second period before assisting Dylan Cozens in the third. Peterka now has four assists in his last three games, though he's tallied just one goal in his last 33 contests. The 21-year-old rookie has eight goals and 17 assists through 62 games this season. While his production has been inconsistent, Peterka is worth monitoring while playing alongside Dylan Cozens and Jack Quinn on Buffalo's second line.

Peterka recorded two assists in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old gets overlooked among all the other gifted young forwards on the Sabres' roster, but Peterka has some offensive talent of his own. A second-round pick in 2020, he has a goal and four points in his last five games for Buffalo while skating in a middle-six role and seeing second-unit power-play time, and he's up to 23 points (eight goals and 15 helpers) through 60 games in his first full NHL season.

Peterka was called up by Buffalo from AHL Rochester on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka spent less than a day in the minors before rejoining the Sabres. He has seven goals and 18 points in 41 contests with Buffalo while averaging 13:58 of ice time this season.

Peterka was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka figured to be the odd man out of the lineup against the Islanders on Thursday, so the Sabres processed a paper move to allow them to recall starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen from the minors. The 21-year-old Peterka is unlikely to actually report to AHL Rochester and should continue to practice with the Sabres instead. He could be officially added back onto the roster as early as Friday.

Peterka logged an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka was a healthy scratch for the last two games amid a stretch where he produced just two helpers in nine appearances. He took it well and made an impact in his return to the lineup Saturday, setting up Dylan Cozens' second-period tally. Peterka has 18 points, 60 shots on net, 20 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 39 outings as a rookie this season. He'll likely continue to see middle-six minutes, though if he slumps again, he could receive another trip to the press box.

Peterka was credited with two assists during a 6-3 victory over the visiting Red Wings on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka, who made a scoresheet for the first time in 10 games, aided Casey Mittelstadt on both of his goals against the Red Wings. The 2020 second-round draft pick earned the first multi-point game of his 35-game career. Well-rested from the Sabres' 10-day layoff, Peterka added three shots and two PIM in the win.

Peterka scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has points in six of his last seven games, amassing three goals and three helpers in that span. The rookie winger's tallied tied the game at 2-2 early in the second period after the Sabres' rough start to the game. Peterka is connecting well with fellow youngsters Dylan Cozens and Jack Quinn on the Sabres' second line. For the season, Peterka has six goals, eight assists, 38 shots, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating in 25 outings.

Peterka notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka set up the second of Dylan Cozens' two goals in the contest. He's still looking for a multi-point outing, but Peterka has a goal and three assists over the last five games while finding some stability on the second line. The German winger has four goals, eight assists, 31 shots on goal, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating in 23 appearances this season.

Peterka scored a goal on one lone shot in Tuesday's convincing 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka had success in finding the back of the net to give Buffalo an early 2-0 lead less than one minute into the contest. At only 20 years old, the right winger is beginning to make some noise as he has accumulated nine points in 19 games this season.
