    Malenstyn ended a five-game slump with the helper. The 26-year-old has played on the fourth line throughout 2024-25, picking up three points, 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 36 hits and eight PIM over 14 contests. His place in the lineup looks fairly secure, but Malenstyn's biggest contributions will come in hits rather than points, so he's only an option in deep fantasy formats.

  • Sabres' Beck Malenstyn: Pots goal in win

    Malenstyn scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Malenstyn scored from in close at 11:31 of the first period to earn his first point as a Sabre. The 26-year-old forward signed a two-year deal in July with the Sabres after he was traded from the Capitals at the draft in June. He brings some grit to a fourth-line role, but he'll be hard-pressed to match the 21-point campaign he produced over 81 regular-season games in 2023-24. This year, he's picked up 22 hits, seven blocked shots, four PIM and six shots on net across seven outings.

  • Sabres' Beck Malenstyn: Secures two-year pact

    Malenstyn and the Sabres agreed to terms on a two-year, $2.7 million contract Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Malenstyn was brought in via trade by Buffalo from Washington before the 2024 NHL Draft but needed to agree to new terms as a restricted free agent. Last season, the 26-year-old natural center saw action in 81 games for the Caps in which he generated six goals and 15 assists, all career bests. He figures to slot into a bottom-six role for the Sabres this year and likely has a ceiling in the 25-30-point range.
