Buffalo Sabres Strengthen Roster
In a notable move during the 2025 NHL off-season, the Buffalo Sabres strengthened their roster by trading winger JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for promising forward Josh Doan and defenseman Michael Kesselring. The Sabres targeted Doan, who at just 23 years old, has the potential to elevate his game significantly with a fresh environment.
Josh Doan’s Impact
As the season progresses, Doan has certainly proven to be a valuable asset for the Sabres. In his first 47 appearances with the team this year, he’s achieved impressive personal bests, tallying 15 goals, 19 assists, and a total of 34 points. This marks a notable uptick in production compared to his previous season in Utah, where he managed only seven goals and 19 points in 51 games.
Recent Performance Highlights
What stands out even more is Doan’s recent performance, which suggests he is not only maintaining but enhancing his play as the season unfolds. Over the last nine games, he has scored five goals and accumulated 10 points. Highlighting his recent form, he delivered consecutive two-point games on January 14 against the Philadelphia Flyers and January 15 against the Montreal Canadiens.
Looking Ahead
The promising trajectory of Josh Doan’s development in Buffalo has not gone unnoticed, and many are eager to see how he will capitalize on this momentum moving forward in what is shaping up to be a breakout season for him.
