Top Jacob Bryson News

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Contributes assist

    Bryson notched an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

    Bryson has earned two helpers over the last three games. The 26-year-old has played in six straight contests and continues to hold the upper hand over Henri Jokiharju and Connor Clifton for a top-four spot. Bryson won't be a factor on the power play and likely won't add much offense, but he looks to be a lineup regular moving forward.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Picks up first helper of season

    Bryson notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flames.

    Bryson didn't play in October, but he's been in the lineup in each of the last four games after head coach Lindy Ruff scratched Mattias Samuelsson and Henri Jokiharju. Over his four appearances, Bryson has one assist, 10 blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-2 rating, and the Sabres have given up just six goals. He'll likely remain in a bottom-four role as long as he's in the lineup, but he could head back to the press box as soon as his play slips.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Regular presence in press box

    Bryson hasn't played in any of the Sabres' first 11 games of the season.

    Bryson signed a one-year deal with the Sabres on July 1 after he didn't receive a qualifying offer from the organization. The 26-year-old defenseman is with the big club as injury insurance, but he appears to be No. 8 on the depth chart, and that's led to him receiving no game action with the team's defense corps staying healthy in October. Bryson could push Connor Clifton for a spot on the third pairing, though Dennis Gilbert is also in the mix to play if head coach Lindy Ruff shuffles up his defense.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Inks one-year pact

    Bryson signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Buffalo on Monday.

    Bryson played in a mere 36 games for Buffalo last season, notching one goal, seven assists and 15 shots on net while averaging 14:41 of ice time. The 26-year-old blueliner is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and could spend significant chunks of the season serving as a healthy scratch.

  • Jacob Bryson: Set to become free agent

    Bryson will not receive a qualifying offer from the Sabres and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, per PuckPedia.

    Bryson had eight points in 36 games last season. He also added three assists with AHL Rochester. The 26-year-old blueliner has just 36 points in 206 career NHL contests. Bryson could land a cheap deal as a depth defenseman this offseason but may need to settle for a two-way contract.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Good to go

    Bryson (upper body) is expected to play Tuesday against Dallas, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

    Bryson left Sunday's 3-1 loss to Detroit after taking a high stick from teammate Tyson Jost but won't miss any more game action. The 26-year-old Bryson has one goal, seven assists, 14 shots on net and 36 blocked shots in 32 appearances this campaign.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Suffers injury Sunday

    Bryson (upper body) won't return to Sunday's game against Detroit.

    Bryson took an accidental high stick from teammate Tyson Jost in the contest. The 26-year-old Bryson logged just 9:16 of ice time before his exit. If he isn't available Tuesday against Dallas, Kale Clague could play for the first time since Feb. 23.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Two helpers in loss

    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: Hands out assist Monday

    Bryson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

    Bryson has picked up three points over nine contests in March. The 26-year-old continues to see steady playing time in a third-pairing role -- he has played regularly since Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) was ruled out for the season and Erik Johnson was traded to the Flyers. Bryson has six points, 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 23 outings overall.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Scores first goal of season

    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.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Provides helper in win

    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. Bryson continues to hold down the fort while Owen Power (hand) remains on injured reserve, picking up three assists, five hits and 14 blocked shots through 11 games. The 26-year-old Bryson also has three assists in 10 outings with AHL Rochester this season.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Two helpers Tuesday

    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.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Recalled from AHL

    Bryson was summoned from AHL Rochester on Monday.

    Bryson will accompany the Sabres on the team's upcoming three-game road trip in California. He will probably continue to serve as an extra defender unless injuries occur.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Assigned to minors

    Bryson was sent to AHL Rochester on Saturday.

    Bryson, who has played in only three games this season, hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 4 against Toronto. If he stays in the minors for a bit, he should get some much-needed playing time. Bryson had nine points, 27 shots on goal, 69 blocked shots and 34 hits in 59 appearances with the Sabres during the 2022-23 campaign.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Summoned from AHL

    Bryson was called up from AHL Rochester on Thursday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Bryson has an assist in nine games with Rochester this season. In three games with Buffalo, he has no points, a minus-1 rating, two hits and six blocks.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Designated for waivers

    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: Serving depth role

    Bryson has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the 2023-24 season.

    In 59 games last season, Bryson chipped in one goal, eight assists, 69 blocked shots and 34 hits. However, he has begun the 2023-24 campaign as Buffalo's seventh defenseman. Barring injuries, the 25-year-old defender could be sitting in the press box for a while.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Snags helper Monday

    Bryson registered an assist in Monday's 3-2 defeat to Edmonton.

    Bryson finally ended his 26-game pointless streak that stretched back to Dec. 7 versus Columbus. Still, if the 25-year-old blueliner can pick up at least one more point this season, he'll match his career best of 10 set last season. GIven his lack of offensive upside, Bryson shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value moving forward.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Playing Thursday

    Bryson (lower body) will return to the lineup Thursday against Detroit, according to coach Don Granato.

    Bryson has sat out the last three games with the injury. He has two goals and eight points with a minus-15 rating in 25 games this season.

  • Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Lands on IR

    Bryson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly.

    Bryson missed Thursday's game against the Avalanche and now he'll be out until at least Dec. 23 against Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old has eight points with a minus-15 rating through 25 games this season. Jeremy Davies was promoted to replace him on the roster for now.
