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.
