Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Two helpers in loss
Rotowire
Bryson recorded a pair of assists in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Senators.
Bryson was involved in both of Buffalo's second-period goals, setting up John-Jason Peterka's tally early in the frame before adding a second assist on a Connor Clifton marker. It's just the second multi-point game this season for Bryson, who had one point (an assist) in seven games prior to Wednesday. Overall, the 26-year-old blueliner has eight points (one goal, seven assists) through 27 games in a bottom-pairing role.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Scores first goal of season
Rotowire
Bryson scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Oilers.
With Buffalo down 2-1 midway through the third period, Bryson scooped up a loose puck in the Edmonton end and flipped it toward the net through traffic hoping for a tip-in. Instead, it glanced off Stuart Skinner's shoulder and into the cage. Bryson has played only 19 NHL games this season and had exactly one goal in each of his first three campaigns for the Sabres, so it's unlikely he'll be adding to his total any time soon.

Rotowire
Bryson provided an assist in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Bryson danced around the blue line and fed Connor Clifton, who scored his first goal as a member of the Sabres. The tally held up as the game-winner.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Two helpers Tuesday
Rotowire
Bryson picked up two assists while adding two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Kings.
The 26-year-old blueliner collected his first points in six NHL games this season, getting a regular shift with Owen Power (hand) sidelined. Bryson hasn't shown much offensive upside as a pro -- his best season in the AHL came in 2019-20, when he scored four goals and 27 points in 61 games for Rochester -- and he's unlikely to make much fantasy impact even in an expanded role.

Bryson was waived by the Sabres on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Bryson's waiving comes after the blueliner served as a healthy scratch for the last 20 games. With Jack Quinn (Achilles) expected to return soon, waiving Bryson will provide Buffalo with the necessary roster opening. Bryson should see significantly more minutes with AHL Rochester if he clears waivers.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Provides even-strength apple
Rotowire
Bryson supplied an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
Bryson's helper took place at even strength and ended up being clutch in this tightly contested matchup. Nonetheless, his power-play role has shrunk precipitously as the season comes to a close, which is a bit of a letdown considering seven of his 10 points this season have been tallied on the man advantage.

Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Slides power-play helper
Rotowire
Bryson produced a power-play assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Coyotes.
Bryson set up a Kyle Okposo tally in the first period, with the former earning his first point in his last nine outings. The 24-year-old Bryson missed time with an upper-body injury and also had a stint in the COVID-19 protocols in that span. The defenseman is up to eight helpers, 20 shots on net, 26 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 35 appearances. He's mostly a power-play specialist on offense, and fantasy managers can likely find higher-scoring blueliners on the waiver wire.
