Peterka recorded an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka set up Rasmus Dahlin's goal in the final seconds of the game. The assist gave Peterka a modest three-game point streak -- it's the second time this year he's gotten on the scoresheet that many times in a row, with a four-game drought in between. While he's been a little streaky, the 20-year-old is fitting in well with the Sabres in a middle-six role. He has three goals, four helpers, 17 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-1 rating through 11 contests.

Peterka recorded an assist and added three shots on goal in Monday's 8-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka started the year with points in four straight games, but followed it up with a four-game drought that he snapped with a helper Monday. The ups and downs are to be expected for a 20-year-old getting his first extended look at the NHL level. The German has two goals, three assists, 16 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-1 rating in nine outings and should continue to see steady time on the third line as he adjusts.

Peterka recorded an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka set up Rasmus Dahlin's go-ahead goal in the first period. This was Peterka's fourth straight game with a point (two goals, two assists) to begin what's likely to be his first full NHL campaign. The 20-year-old winger has added five shots on net and a plus-1 rating while finding success on the Sabres' third line. His strong offense to start the year has given the Sabres' forward group more depth as they enjoy another hot October.

Peterka scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka has two goals in three contests to begin his rookie campaign. He got it done on a breakaway in the second period Tuesday, with his tally standing as the game-winner. The 20-year-old has added five shots on net, a plus-1 rating and two PIM so far while logging bottom-six minutes. A second-round pick from 2020, Peterka could push his way up the roster if he continues to play well.

Peterka scored his first NHL goal Thursday in a 4-1 victory over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka converted on a sweet give-and-go with Dylan Cozens, who threaded the puck under Sens' defenseman Jake Sanderson's stick. It was his third NHL game. Peterka scored at a near point-per-game pace in the AHL last season and already seems to have some chemistry with Cozens and Peyton Krebs on what may potentially be one of the top kid lines in the NHL.

Peterka is on Buffalo's Opening Night roster.

EDGE Analysis

After being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Peterka scored 28 goals and 68 points in 70 AHL games last season. He also made his NHL debut but was held scoreless in two games. The 20-year-old should jump into a middle-six role with the Sabres to begin the year.

Peterka was in the lineup for five of Buffalo's six preseason games to get more accustomed to NHL competition, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

"This game here was a different level than earlier preseason games obviously because of their lineup," said coach Don Granato after a 7-1 loss to Pittsburgh in the Sabres' preseason finale. "And that'll be the case through the early going." Peterka is expected to stay with the Sabres going into the 2022-23 campaign after he appeared in just two NHL regular-season games last year. The 20-year-old forward racked up 28 goals and 68 points in 70 AHL contests for Rochester in 2021-22.

Peterka was demoted to AHL Rochester from the taxi squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis
