Is J.J. Peterka the Buffalo Sabres next breakout player in 2023-24?

In 2022-23 Buffalo Sabres rookie J.J. Peterka experienced high and low points, but he could make a higher leap than other second year players in the lineup.

Yesterday, I discussed how well Buffalo Sabres winger J.J. Peterka was playing in the 2023 IIHF World Championship. After Team Germany found itself struggling early in the group phase of the tournament, J.J. Peterka became a pivotal part of the team’s turnaround that catapulted them into quarter-final play.

His nine points in seven outings lead Team Germany, and his play is starting to mirror that of Dylan Cozens’ from the 2022 tournament.
