Sabres' Jack Quinn: Two goals, including winner Friday
Rotowire
Quinn scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Flyers.
Quinn's first multi-goal performance of the season couldn't have come at a better time as the Sabres try to catch the Flyers for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The 22-year-old forward has had trouble staying healthy in 2023-24, suiting up for only 22 games, but he's been productive when he's played with seven goals and 15 points.

Quinn (lower body) returned to practice Tuesday, and he could be ready to return Wednesday against the Senators, Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report reports.
Quinn's still on injured reserve, but he skated with Dylan Cozens and John-Jason Peterka on the second line during Tuesday's practice, which suggests Quinn's trending toward returning versus Ottawa. He's been limited to 17 games this season due to injury, but Quinn was productive over that stretch, picking up five goals and 12 points.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: On injured reserve
Rotowire
Quinn (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
Quinn has five goals and 12 points in 17 contests in 2023-24. He underwent surgery Jan. 29 and his initial timetable for recovery was penciled in at eight weeks, so being put on IR doesn't impact his outlook.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Out eight weeks
Rotowire
Quinn (lower body) underwent surgery Monday and is expected to miss eight weeks, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Quinn was injured Saturday against the Sharks and will now miss a large chunk of time. His current timetable would put him on a path to return in late March. The 22-year-old has racked up 12 points in 17 games since returning from an offseason Achilles injury. Quinn will be placed on injured reserve at some point soon and Buffalo will likely recall another forward to take his roster spot.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Expected to miss time
Rotowire
Quinn's lower-body injury is believed to be more serious than day-to-day, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports Saturday.
Quinn was hurt at the 12:53 mark of the third period following a hit along the boards from San Jose's Tomas Hertl on Saturday. The 22-year-old Quinn has five goals and 12 points in 17 appearances this season. He has played well after missing the first 32 games of the 2023-24 campaign due to an Achilles injury.

Rotowire
Quinn scored a goal on five shots, added two assists and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
Quinn had gone eight games without a goal, posting just three assists in that span. This was his second multi-point effort of the campaign. The 22-year-old has mainly filled a middle-six role since making his season debut Dec. 19 following his recovery from Achilles surgery. He's up to five goals, six helpers, 35 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Two-point effort in Montreal
Rotowire
Quinn produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Canadiens.
Both points came in the third period as Buffalo broke open what had been a 2-1 game heading into the second intermission. It's Quinn's first multi-point performance in seven games since making a belated season debut due to Achilles surgery, but the 22-year-old has made a quick impact with four goals and five points.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Might play Tuesday
Rotowire
Quinn (Achilles) may be ready to suit up versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Quinn was originally expected to be out until January but it seems the 22-year-old center is ahead of schedule. The Ottawa native recorded 14 goals and 23 assists in 75 games during his rookie campaign but will be hard-pressed to reach those numbers this season after missing two months to begin the campaign.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Could return in January
Rotowire
Quinn (Achilles) is expected to be ready to play around the start of the new year, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Quinn started skating in mid-November, but he's still not expected to return for over a month. The 22-year-old underwent surgery in June, and it appears he may be out a little longer than the initial 4-6 month timeline he was given.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Has begun skating
Rotowire
Quinn (Achilles) has started doing rehab skates according to coach Don Granato on Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Quinn's Achilles injury was expected to sideline him for at least six months, which would put his return date in late December. Still, the fact that Quinn has started skating is certainly a step in the right direction. In 75 games last season, Quinn notched 14 goals and 23 helpers, including six power-play points, but is unlikely to repeat those numbers following his long-term absence.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Suffers Achilles injury
Rotowire
Quinn underwent surgery for an Achilles injury Wednesday and will be sidelined for 4-6 months, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Based on this timeline, Quinn will be out for at least the first month of the 2023-24 season, though his recovery could carry into December if he trends toward the six-month range. It's a huge blow for the 21-year-old winger, who is coming off a strong rookie campaign that saw him rack up 14 goals and 23 assists in 75 contests. With Quinn on the shelf and almost certainly starting the 2023-24 campaign on long-term injured reserve, John-Jason Peterka and Victor Olofsson could both be candidates for a top-six role to start the season.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Two-point effort Friday
Rotowire
Quinn recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Devils.
Both points came in the first period as the Sabres jumped out to a 3-1 lead before the 11-minute mark and chased Akira Schmid from the game, with Quinn's tally being the dagger. It was his first multi-point performance in March, but the 21-year-old is still having a productive first full season in the NHL with 14 goals and 34 points through 64 games.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Two points in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Quinn scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
It's the second straight multi-point effort for the 21-year-old, who is filling in admirably for Alex Tuch (lower body) on Buffalo's top line alongside Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner. Tuch may not be back until mid-March at the earliest, so Quinn has a clear path to real fantasy value over the next couple weeks after amassing three goals and eight points over the last seven games.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Two helpers against Caps
Rotowire
Quinn notched two assists in Sunday's 7-4 win over Washington.
The 21-year-old is back on Buffalo's top line alongside Tage Thompson, and he's taking advantage. Over the last six games, Quinn has picked up two goals and six points after managing only one goal over his prior 11 contests. The eighth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft is still trying to establish some consistency with the Sabres, but his talent makes him a viable fantasy option while he's hot.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Provides two assists
Rotowire
Quinn logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Ducks.
Quinn had been limited to a single goal over his last 11 games. That slump has seen him dropped to the third line recently, and he hasn't exceeded 15 minutes of ice time in a game since Dec. 10. The 21-year-old has eight goals, 14 helpers, 72 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-6 rating through 46 contests.

Rotowire
Quinn scored a goal on two shots in the Sabres' 3-2 shootout loss to the Wild on Saturday.
Quinn scored a goal on an incredible individual effort, opening the scoring just 2:22 into the game. This goal snaps a seven-game point drought for Quinn and gives him just three points in his last 18 games. On the season, the 2020 eighth-overall selection has eight goals and 20 points in 42 games.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Pair of points in return to action
Rotowire
Quinn scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.
Quinn was scratched and sent down earlier in the week following a nine-game point drought. He clearly got the memo, responding with an energetic performance that included a helper on a Dylan Cozens goal and an insurance tally of his own. Quinn had a solid stretch over November and December before his recent slump -- the key will be finding consistency for the long haul. He's at seven goals, 19 points, 52 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 34 NHL appearances this season.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Recalled from AHL
Rotowire
Quinn was recalled from AHL Rochester on Friday.
Quinn was sent down Thursday, but it was just a paper move, as coach Don Granato wanted Quinn to watch a couple of games from the press box to get a different perspective. Quinn is pointless in his last nine games, but he had five goals and 12 points in the prior 12 games. He has six goals and 17 points in 33 games this season.
