Jiri Kulich's emergence and Jordan Greenway's impending return to the lineup created a dilemma for the Buffalo Sabres.

Quinn has four goals over his last five games, including one on the power play. The 23-year-old forward is up to 18 points, 69 shots on net and a minus-14 rating through 39 appearances. Quinn is seeing middle-six minutes and steady power-play time, so he can be a useful depth forward in fantasy formats that focus on offense.

Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Quinn had a rough start to the season and was notably scratched a handful of times because of it. While this is the case, the 23-year-old forward is starting to bounce back in a big way as of late.

It’s been a rough season for the Buffalo Sabres, who rank 30th in the NHL standings. While we knew they had a high ceiling and a low floor, few expected the floor to be this low.

Jiri Kulich had a goal and two assists and the Buffalo Sabres rallied to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Tuesday night.

The club is last in the Eastern Conference with an 18-26-5 record and, barring an unprecedented run, the playoff drought that’s chased off season-ticket holders will reach 14 years.

Jamie Oleksiak scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, and Adam Larsson and Jared McCann added scores in the third as the Seattle Kraken beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-4.

Jared McCann had a goal and two assists while John Hayden, Chandler Stephenson, Matty Beniers, Jamie Oleksiak and Adam Larsson also scored for Seattle. Ryker Evans tallied a pair of assists, and goalie Joey Daccord stopped 25 of 29 shots. The Sabres went 1-for-3 on the power play and killed one of two shorthanded situations.

The Sabres have the assets to entice Vancouver into a trade. The bigger question is what, exactly, Buffalo might have to give up.
