Jack Rathbone was involved in a pivotal moment during overtime, as he had a pass intercepted by Alexander Nylander, who then skated the length of the ice and scored the winning goal for Toronto just 25 seconds into the extra period.

Jack Rathbone was placed on waivers by the Buffalo Sabres as part of the team's roster finalization process. His inclusion among the six players indicates the Sabres' efforts to streamline their lineup ahead of the season.
