Top John-Jason Peterka News

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Snags helper Monday

    Peterka recorded a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

    Peterka has gone three games without a goal, but he has two assists in that span. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, four helpers, 14 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through eight appearances this season. His helper Monday was his first power-play point of the campaign, and he should continue to be productive in that area as long as he stays on the Sabres' first unit.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Game-winner, assist against Chicago

    Peterka scored the game-winning goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Peterka set up Tage Thompson on the opening tally at 8:39 of the first period, and the two reversed roles just under 30 minutes of game time later. Peterka's tally was the game-winner, his first such goal this season. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, two assists, 10 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through five contests. He's off to an excellent start on the Sabres' top line, making him a worthwhile addition for fantasy managers in need of offensive firepower.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Stays warm Thursday

    Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    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 winger is a popular breakout candidate this year with a spot on the Sabres' top line. He's produced four points, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating. 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.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Lights lamp twice in return

    Peterka scored two goals on four shots with a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.

    After missing the prior two games due to a concussion, Peterka roared back onto the ice with his first two tallies of the season. The 22-year-old led all Buffalo forwards in even-strength ice time as he reclaimed his spot on the top line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch, and if he stays healthy, Peterka could build on last season's breakout 28 goals and 50 points.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Playing Wednesday

    Peterka (concussion) will be in action versus the Penguins on Wednesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Peterka will return to the lineup after missing the previous two games due to a concussion. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old winger had generated just one assist to go with one hit and two shots. In addition to lining up on the top line, Peterka should be in the mix for power-play opportunities.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Questionable against Penguins

    Peterka (concussion) will be a 50/50 call ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Peterka looks close to getting back in the lineup after missing the Sabres' last two matchups due to his concussion. If given the all-clear, the 22-year-old winger should be in line for both a top-six role in addition to linking up with one of the power-play units. If Peterka remains sidelined, Zach Benson figures to make his third straight appearance in the lineup.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Out Saturday

    Peterka (concussion) won't play Saturday against the Panthers, Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report reports.

    It'll be the second game Peterka's missed after sustaining a concussion in the NHL Global Series against the Devils earlier this month. The 22-year-old Peterka was able to practice Friday, so it appears he could return as soon as Wednesday against the Penguins. Jiri Kulich figures to remain in a top-six role while Peterka is unavailable.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Practicing Friday

    Peterka (concussion) practiced Friday, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

    Peterka was injured Saturday in Prague and missed Thursday's game versus Los Angeles. It appears that Peterka has a chance to return to the lineup Saturday against Florida, as this is his third straight practice this week. Should Peterka return, he is likely to be back on the top line, alongside Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Not playing Thursday

    Peterka (concussion) will not play Thursday versus LA, according to Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report.

    Peterka suffered his concussion early in the first period Saturday against the Devils. The Sabres used Jordan Greenway in Peterka's place on the top line with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch the rest of the way Saturday but it's Jiri Kulich who looks set to take that role Thursday. Peterka could return as early as Saturday versus Florida.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Considered day-to-day

    Peterka (concussion) is day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with Los Angeles, WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

    Peterka was on the ice for just 1:39 against the Devils on Saturday before being forced to leave the game due to his concussion. If Peterka is cleared ahead of Thursday's contest, he should remain in a first-line role with Tage Thompson while also seeing minutes with the man advantage.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Snags assist Friday

    Peterka logged an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Devils in Prague.

    Peterka is a breakout candidate this year after producing 50 points (seven on the power play) despite the Sabres' down year as a team in 2023-24. While they lost their 2024-25 regular-season opener, Peterka was able to contribute by setting up Owen Power's third-period goal. Peterka is getting the first chance to fill the vacancy on the top line created by the Sabres' buyout of Jeff Skinner over the summer, and that spot alongside Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch could be a fruitful one.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Suffers upper-body injury

    Peterka suffered an upper-body injury in the first period Saturday versus New Jersey and will not return.

    Peterka took a big hit from Brenden Dillon in the neutral zone and stayed down for a while before leaving the ice. Dillon received a minor for interference and a five-minute major for fighting after Alex Tuch came to the defense of Peterka. The Sabres will leave Prague after the game and more information may not be available until Buffalo returns home. Peterka started the game on the top line alongside Tage Thompson and Tuch before being replaced by Jordan Greenway following his exit.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Diagnosed with concussion

    Peterka sustained a concussion in Saturday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

    Peterka was injured in the first period following a hard hit from Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon. The 22-year-old Peterka left the contest and didn't return but will travel home to Buffalo with his teammates. If he is unavailable for a week due to concussion protocol, the talented forward could miss Thursday's home opener versus the Kings. Jordan Greenway or Jiri Kulich could replace Peterka on the top line.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Pots winner in three-point effort

    Peterka scored two goals, one the game-winner and the other on the power play, and added an assist with the man advantage in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.

    The Sabres' top line of Peterka, Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch combined for four goals and nine points on the night. Peterka has broken out for eight goals and 11 points over the last 11 games, and the 22-year-old winger is closing in on a couple milestones -- he needs one more point for his first career 50-point campaign and two more tallies to reach 30 goals for the first time.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Deposits empty-netter

    Peterka scored an empty-net goal on five shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

    He wasn't able to help out on any of linemate Tage Thompson's four goals, but Peterka was able to extend his own goal streak. The 22-year-old Peterka has scored in four straight games, netting five goals in that span. The winger is at 26 tallies, 46 points, 197 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 74 contests overall. He's been on the top line lately, a role that should continue to allow him to flourish.

    Peterka scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Oilers.

    Peterka opened the scoring 1:38 into the first period, picking up a loose puck in the slot before beating Stuart Skinner with a wrister.

The winger is up to 21 goals, 20 assists, 180 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 69 appearances this season while mainly playing in a middle-six role.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Two points in Tuesday's rout

    Peterka scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Kings.

    The 22-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period. He fired a shot at David Rittich that trickled through the netminder and lay in the crease, and Peterka had enough time to completely circle the net and tap the puck home on his backhand before anyone on the Kings' defense reacted. He's delivered three multi-point performances in the last five games, a stretch in which he's piled up five goals and seven points.

  • Sabres' John-Jason Peterka: Sets career mark in points

    Peterka scored two goals Saturday in a 5-2 win over San Jose.

    He was J.J. on the spot on his first goal, stuffing in a rebound after Kaapo Kahkonen stopped Dylan Cozens' wraparound. Cozens set Peterka up in the third period for a one-timer from the right circle on a 3-on-2. Peterka's two-goal performance Saturday gives him a career-high 34 points through 49 games this season. He delivered 32 points in 77 games during his 2022-23 rookie campaign. The play of Peterka has been a bright spot for the Sabres this season.
