Pavel Buchnevich has emerged as a key contributor for the St. Louis Blues, stepping up significantly after the injury to Robert Thomas. In his last five games, he has recorded one goal, three assists, and nine shots, showcasing his ability to maintain value in a premium matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. With the Sabres struggling defensively and potentially missing star center Tage Thompson, Buchnevich is positioned to capitalize on this opportunity at a favorable price of $4.4K on DraftKings.
