Ostlund scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Ostlund has been turning things around of late, collecting five points over his last five games, though he didn't find the scoresheet in two outings before Tuesday's two-goal effort. The 21-year-old forward is up to 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 37 contests this season.

Ostlund logged two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Ostlund has three helpers over his last two outings. The 21-year-old is still prone to being an occasional scratch -- he sat out Monday's game versus the Panthers -- but he's been fairly steady in a middle-six role lately. He's up to a total of 15 points, 37 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 34 appearances this season. Ostlund has potential, but his usage still isn't ideal for fantasy managers in standard formats.

Ostlund notched two assists in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Ostlund hadn't earned an assist in December, but he had four goals over eight games prior to Wednesday. While he didn't add to his scoring total, he helped out on goals by Bowen Byram and Tage Thompson in this win. Ostlund has looked good in a middle-six role so far, earning 12 points, 31 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 28 appearances this season. He should be on the radar in deeper fantasy formats, though he hasn't done enough for widespread appeal yet.

EDGE Analysis

Ostlund sparked the Sabres' offense Monday when he scored just over two minutes into regulation. With the opening twine finder, he has seven goals, 10 points and 31 shots on net through 27 appearances this season. The 21-year-old center's brief stint with AHL Rochester midway through December has paid dividends for him, as he has scored four goals in seven games since his return to the NHL. Ostlund is one of many young players in the Sabres' lineup who have stepped up their game during the team's nine-game win streak, as he has added a plus-five rating, 11 shots on net and two blocks to the cause in addition to his goals. The rookie is a solid streaming option in fantasy while the Sabres' offense is firing on all cylinders. He also has value as a stash in deep leagues throughout the rest of the season if he can sustain his middle-six role at the NHL level.

EDGE Analysis

Ostlund has scored three times over five games since he was recalled from AHL Rochester. He's taken on a second-line role at even strength, though he remains out of the power-play mix during this NHL stint. For the season, the 21-year-old has six goals, nine points, 27 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 25 appearances.

Ostlund scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Ostlund has scored in consecutive contests and looks to be ready for a lengthy stay in the NHL. He's at five goals, three helpers, 23 shots on net and 12 blocked shots over 22 outings for the Sabres this season. Considering the team has struggled to settle on specific line combinations, particularly in the top six, Ostlund should be in contention for significant minutes if he continues to be productive on offense.

Ostlund scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Ostlund opened the scoring at 17:09 of the first period. The 21-year-old forward had a stint in the AHL earlier in December, but it lasted less than a week after he had a three-point effort in his return to that league. Ostlund was on the third line and saw 12:04 of ice time Sunday, so he's still not seeing a huge role when on the Sabres' roster. He's produced seven points, 21 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 21 appearances for Buffalo this season.

EDGE Analysis

This was Ostlund's first AHL game since Nov. 1 after a lengthy stint with the Sabres.

Ostlund has been with the Sabres for most of the season, but he has averaged just 12:45 of ice time per night. The 21-year-old has posted six points (three goals, three assists) in 20 games. He'll head to AHL Rochester now, where he'll likely play big minutes in all situations and look to add on to his seven points in six games.
