Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Pair of points in win
Bryson scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Bryson was one of nine Sabres to earn multiple points in the blowout win. The 28-year-old defenseman has done little on offense this year, but he's become a regular on the third pairing since Michael Kesselring (lower body) exited the lineup. Bryson has three points, two shots on net, six blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating over 11 outings.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Cleared but won't dress Tuesday
Bryson (concussion) will not be in the lineup versus Columbus on Tuesday but has been cleared for contact, per NHL.com.
Bryson will be given some extra time to recover thanks to the return of Michael Kesselring (lower body), who will be making his season debut. For his part, the 27-year-old Bryson will miss his fifth straight contest despite being cleared to play. Prior to getting hurt, the Ontario native managed just one point in five outings while dishing out a single hit. His lack of production or category coverage makes him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Could be available for Tuesday
Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Bryson could clear the concussion protocol ahead of Tuesday's game against Columbus, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
The 27-year-old has been in the league's concussion protocol for just over a week, but the defenseman could be an option for Tuesday's matchup. Over five appearances this year, Bryson has logged an assist, four blocked shots, a hit and two PIM while averaging 9:28 of ice time.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Suffers injury Saturday
Bryson will not return to Saturday's game against Florida due to an upper-body injury.
Bryson fell awkwardly into the boards after a collision with Florida's Jonah Gadjovich and did not return to the bench after the first intermission on Saturday. The 27-year-old has averaged just 11:30 of ice time per game this season, and with just 44 points in 259 career NHL regular-season games, his potential absence likely won't impact many fantasy lineups. If the injury forces Bryson to miss any time, Zach Metsa could make his NHL debut.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: In concussion protocol
Bryson was put in the concussion protocol Saturday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.
Bryson suffered the injury when he fell awkwardly into the boards during Buffalo's 3-0 victory over Florida on Saturday. The 27-year-old defenseman's placement in the concussion protocol suggests he'll probably miss at least some time. Zach Metsa is likely to draw into the lineup while Bryson is absent.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Gathers assist
Bryson logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Senators.
Bryson won a depth role in training camp over Zac Jones and has played in all four games this season. Injuries to Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) and Michael Kesselring (lower body) have helped to keep Bryson in the lineup on the third pairing. Bryson has an assist, one shot on net, four blocks and a plus-1 rating and will likely return to the press box when the Sabres get healthier.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Inks one-year extension
Bryson signed a one-year, $900,000 contract extension with Buffalo on Thursday.
That means Bryson will earn the same salary in 2025-26 as he has been for this campaign. The 27-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer before inking his new deal. Bryson has seven assists, nine hits and 47 blocks in 42 appearances in 2024-25.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Draws assist
Bryson produced an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Bryson was injured Wednesday versus the Red Wings but didn't miss a game. The 27-year-old blueliner is competing for time on the third pairing and could be scratched at some point to allow the Sabres to get a look at trade acquisition Jacob Bernard-Docker. Bryson has not performed at a fantasy-relevant level in most formats, collecting seven helpers, 18 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances this season.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Good to go against Vegas
Bryson (upper body) will play versus the Golden Knights on Saturday, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
Bryson won't miss any playing time despite suffering an injury in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Detroit. He has provided six assists, 16 shots on goal, 46 blocked shots and nine hits across 40 appearances this season.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Suffers injury Wednesday
Bryson suffered an upper-body injury in Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
The injury occurred on a hit by Michael Rasmussen in the third period, leading to increased hostilities in an already chippy game. Bryson ended up with 16:16 of ice time after failing to return to the contest. The 27-year-old's status is up in the air for Saturday's game versus the Golden Knights, and if Jacob Bernard-Docker (not injury related) is not eligible to play either, the Sabres may need to make a move for a defenseman.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Picks up rare assist
Bryson notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Bryson had been scratched for three games prior to Saturday. He had also gone five contests without a point before his trip to the press box. The 27-year-old's playing-time outlook could improve if the Sabres trade away a blueliner, namely Henri Jokiharju, prior to Friday's deadline. For the season, Bryson has five helpers, 13 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 34 appearances in a part-time role.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Nabs helper in loss
Bryson recorded an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
Bryson had gone seven games without a point and also missed six contests (two due to illness, four as a healthy scratch) in that span. He's been in a part-time role all season and typically plays on the third pairing when in the lineup. The 27-year-old blueliner has four assists, nine shots on net, 10 PIM and 33 blocked shots over 28 contests. A limited role and minimal offense combine to make Bryson a non-factor in fantasy.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Returns to practice
Bryson (illness) attended Thursday's practice but is not projected to be in the lineup versus the Senators, Justin Alpert of the Sabres' official site reports.
Bryson had missed two games due to the illness, but his presence at practice indicates he is now healthy enough to play if necessary. He has three assists, eight shots on net and 31 blocked shots across 24 appearances this season. Bryson has not held a full-time spot in the lineup since early December.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Not playing Monday
Bryson (illness) will not be available Monday versus the Capitals, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Snags helper in win
Bryson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-1 win over the Islanders.
Bryson was in the lineup for a second straight game after being scratched in four of five contests from Dec. 11-20. The 27-year-old ended his 13-game point drought when he assisted on a Beck Malenstyn goal in the first period. Bryson looks to be in competition with Dennis Gilbert for the left side of the third pairing, but both could end up out of the lineup when Owen Power or Bowen Byram play on their natural side and Henri Jokiharju is in action, as the Sabres are carrying six lefties on defense.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Losing playing time
Bryson was scratched for the fourth time in five games when he sat out Friday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Mattias Samuelsson's recent return from injury has bumped Bryson out of the mix on defense for now. Even with Bryson scratched, the Sabres haven't broken out of a lengthy losing streak, so he could get a look over Dennis Gilbert in the near future. Bryson has just two helpers with 25 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-7 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Contributes assist
Bryson notched an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Bryson has earned two helpers over the last three games. The 26-year-old has played in six straight contests and continues to hold the upper hand over Henri Jokiharju and Connor Clifton for a top-four spot. Bryson won't be a factor on the power play and likely won't add much offense, but he looks to be a lineup regular moving forward.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Picks up first helper of season
Bryson notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flames.
Bryson didn't play in October, but he's been in the lineup in each of the last four games after head coach Lindy Ruff scratched Mattias Samuelsson and Henri Jokiharju. Over his four appearances, Bryson has one assist, 10 blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-2 rating, and the Sabres have given up just six goals. He'll likely remain in a bottom-four role as long as he's in the lineup, but he could head back to the press box as soon as his play slips.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Regular presence in press box
Bryson hasn't played in any of the Sabres' first 11 games of the season.
Bryson signed a one-year deal with the Sabres on July 1 after he didn't receive a qualifying offer from the organization. The 26-year-old defenseman is with the big club as injury insurance, but he appears to be No. 8 on the depth chart, and that's led to him receiving no game action with the team's defense corps staying healthy in October. Bryson could push Connor Clifton for a spot on the third pairing, though Dennis Gilbert is also in the mix to play if head coach Lindy Ruff shuffles up his defense.
