The NHL offseason is heating up with potential offer sheets on the horizon, particularly for young talents like JJ Peterka of the Buffalo Sabres. Analysts Frank Seravalli and Carter Hutton suggest that Peterka could be a target for an offer sheet, tapping into the recent trend seen with the St. Louis Blues successfully courting players from the Edmonton Oilers last offseason.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Flyers face decisions regarding Cam York, a pending RFA whose stock has fallen after a lackluster season. Once a candidate for a lucrative long-term deal, he may now be seeking a more modest bridge contract. Comparisons to recent contracts, such as Philip Broberg's two-year deal, suggest York could earn between $4 to $5 million annually.

The Buffalo Sabres dominated the Ottawa Senators 5-2 on Tuesday night, completing a season sweep with a commanding 17-5 goals differential. Despite their last-place standing in the Eastern Conference, the Sabres showed resilience, taking a 2-0 lead early in the first period. Alex Tuch opened the scoring with a tap-in before Rasmus Dahlin extended the lead. Tage Thompson's slick setup for JJ Peterka made it 3-0, and although the Senators managed to cut the lead to 3-1, the Sabres quickly answered with Peyton Krebs’ goal. Ryan McLeod sealed the win with a short-handed empty-netter.

The Senators faced a significant blow, missing captain Brady Tkachuk due to injury, which hampered their attack, particularly on the power play where they failed to convert on four attempts. Linus Ullmark made 17 saves for Buffalo, and James Reimer's 33 saves in goal contributed to the Sabres' victory. With the loss, the Senators now look to regroup as they prepare for upcoming games against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
