March 27, 2026 Ostlund (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against the Red Wings, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. - Although head coach Lindy Ruff labeled Ostlund as day-to-day, the 22-year-old participated in Friday's optional morning skate and is considered a possibility to suit up against Detroit after missing Thursday's practice due to an upper-body injury. If Ostlund is unavailable for Friday's game, Tyson Kozak, Josh Dunne and Tanner Pearson are candidates to suit up. None
March 26, 2026 Ostlund missed practice Thursday after suffering an upper-body injury, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports. - Ostlund has found the back of the net just once in his last 18 outings, recording 17 shots while adding seven helpers. If the 22-year-old center can't suit up against the Red Wings on Friday, it could mean more ice time for Zach Benson, as well as seeing Alex Tuch reclaim a power-play role. None
March 19, 2026 Ostlund scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks. - Ostlund had gone 14 games without a goal, picking up six assists and 12 shots on net in that span. The 22-year-old has floated around the lineup at times but mostly fills a middle-six role with a spot on the second power-play unit. Ostlund is up to 11 goals, 26 points, 57 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 57 appearances. His tally Thursday was his first career game-winner. None
Feb. 1, 2026 Ostlund scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens. - Ostlund has been a productive presence in the Sabres' lineup of late, but most of his contributions have come on even strength, as this was just his second power-play goal of the season. Ostlund has seven points (three goals, four assists) over his last 10 contests. None
Jan. 21, 2026 Ostlund scored two goals and took three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators. - Ostlund has been turning things around of late and has five points over his last five games. The 21-year-old forward isn't expected to be relevant in most fantasy formats, however, as he holds a bottom-six role while putting up just 17 points (nine goals, eight helpers) in 37 contests this season. None
Jan. 16, 2026 Ostlund logged two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens. - Ostlund has three helpers over his last two outings. The 21-year-old is still prone to being an occasional scratch -- he sat out Monday's game versus the Panthers -- but he's been fairly steady in a middle-six role lately. He's up to a total of 15 points, 37 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 34 appearances this season. Ostlund has potential, but his usage still isn't ideal for fantasy managers in standard formats. None
Jan. 1, 2026 Ostlund notched two assists in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Stars. - Ostlund hadn't earned an assist in December, but he had four goals over eight games prior to Wednesday. While he didn't add to his scoring total, he helped out on goals by Bowen Byram and Tage Thompson in this win. Ostlund has looked good in a middle-six role so far, earning 12 points, 31 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 28 appearances this season. He should be on the radar in deeper fantasy formats, though he hasn't done enough for widespread appeal yet. None
Dec. 30, 2025 Ostlund scored a goal and placed a shot on net in Monday's 4-2 win over St. Louis. - Ostlund sparked the Sabres' offense Monday when he scored just over two minutes into regulation. With the opening twine finder, he has seven goals, 10 points and 31 shots on net through 27 appearances this season.

Ostlund is one of many young players in the Sabres' lineup who have stepped up their game during the team's nine-game win streak, as he has added a plus-five rating, 11 shots on net and two blocks to the cause in addition to his goals. The rookie is a solid streaming option in fantasy while the Sabres' offense is firing on all cylinders. He also has value as a stash in deep leagues throughout the rest of the season if he can sustain his middle-six role at the NHL level. None
Dec. 24, 2025 Ostlund scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators. - Ostlund has scored three times over five games since he was recalled from AHL Rochester.

For the season, the 21-year-old has six goals, nine points, 27 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 25 appearances. None
Dec. 19, 2025 Ostlund scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flyers. - Ostlund has scored in consecutive contests and looks to be ready for a lengthy stay in the NHL. He's at five goals, three helpers, 23 shots on net and 12 blocked shots over 22 outings for the Sabres this season. Considering the team has struggled to settle on specific line combinations, particularly in the top six, Ostlund should be in contention for significant minutes if he continues to be productive on offense. None
Dec. 14, 2025 Ostlund scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Kraken. - Ostlund opened the scoring at 17:09 of the first period. The 21-year-old forward had a stint in the AHL earlier in December, but it lasted less than a week after he had a three-point effort in his return to that league. Ostlund was on the third line and saw 12:04 of ice time Sunday, so he's still not seeing a huge role when on the Sabres' roster. He's produced seven points, 21 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 21 appearances for Buffalo this season. None
Dec. 13, 2025 Ostlund was recalled from AHL Rochester on Saturday, according to Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News. - Ostlund had a goal and two assists in his one AHL game since being demoted Sunday.

He tied the game midway through the third period. The 16th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft hasn't been able to establish himself at the top level yet. However, he's had no trouble making an impact in the AHL, getting his promotion this season after recording two goals and seven points in six games for Rochester. With a spot in the middle six and on the second power-play unit, Ostlund could begin to make his mark for Buffalo as well. None
Nov. 4, 2025 Ostlund has been elevated to the NHL roster ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Utah, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports. - Ostlund is pointless through four NHL appearances this year, registering six shots, three blocks and one hit while averaging a mere 10:50 of ice time.
