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.

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.

Ostlund was recalled from AHL Rochester on Saturday, according to Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

This was Ostlund's first AHL game since Nov. 1 after a lengthy stint with the Sabres. He has six points in 20 games with Buffalo this year, and he's added 10 points and 31 shots over seven outings for Rochester. Any time spent in the AHL now is merely to keep his confidence up until a prominent role in the Sabres' lineup becomes available.

Ostlund has been returned to AHL Rochester, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Ostlund scored two goals, one on the power play, on three shots on net while adding two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first multi-goal performance of the 21-year-old's brief career, as Ostlund tucked the puck past Stuart Skinner on a nifty bit of stickhandling late in the first period before snapping home a shot from the faceoff dot midway through the third. Ostlund has three goals and five points in the last seven games as the 16th overall pick in the 2022 Draft begins to get comfortable in the NHL.

EDGE Analysis

Skating in his 13th career game, and his fifth this season, Ostlund got a dose of good fortune to light the lamp for the first time. His initial shot from the slot sailed over the net, only for the puck to bounce into the air off the glass and wind up landing right at Ostlund's feet for a second chance. He tied the game midway through the third period. The 16th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft hasn't been able to establish himself at the top level yet. However, he's had no trouble making an impact in the AHL, getting his promotion this season after recording two goals and seven points in six games for Rochester. With a spot in the middle six and on the second power-play unit, Ostlund could begin to make his mark for Buffalo as well.
