Date News Advice
July 1, 2024 Bryson signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Buffalo on Monday. - Bryson played in a mere 36 games for Buffalo last season, notching one goal, seven assists and 15 shots while averaging 14:41 of ice time. The 26-year-old blueliner is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and could spend significant chunks of the seasons serving as a healthy scratch. None
June 30, 2024 Bryson will not receive a qualifying offer from the Sabres and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, per PuckPedia. - Bryson had eight points in 36 games last season. He also added three assists with AHL Rochester. The 26-year-old blueliner has just 36 points in 206 career NHL contests. Bryson could land a cheap deal as a depth defenseman this offseason but may need to settle for a two-way contract. None
April 9, 2024 Bryson (upper body) is expected to play Tuesday against Dallas, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. - Bryson left Sunday's 3-1 loss to Detroit after taking a high stick from teammate Tyson Jost but won't miss any more game action. The 26-year-old Bryson has one goal, seven assists, 14 shots on net and 36 blocked shots in 32 appearances this campaign. None
April 7, 2024 Bryson (upper body) won't return to Sunday's game against Detroit. - Bryson took an accidental high stick from teammate Tyson Jost in the contest. The 26-year-old Bryson logged just 9:16 of ice time before his exit. If he isn't available Tuesday against Dallas, Kale Clague could play for the first time since Feb. 23. None
March 28, 2024 Bryson recorded a pair of assists in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Senators. - Bryson was involved in both of Buffalo's second-period goals, setting up John-Jason Peterka's tally early in the frame before adding a second assist on a Connor Clifton marker. It's just the second multi-point game this season for Bryson, who had one point (an assist) in seven games prior to Wednesday. Overall, the 26-year-old blueliner has eight points (one goal, seven assists) through 27 games in a bottom-pairing role. None
March 18, 2024 Bryson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken. - Bryson has picked up three points over nine contests in March. The 26-year-old continues to see steady playing time in a third-pairing role -- he has played regularly since Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) was ruled out for the season and Erik Johnson was traded to the Flyers. Bryson has six points, 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 23 outings overall. None
March 9, 2024 Bryson scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Oilers. - With Buffalo down 2-1 midway through the third period, Bryson scooped up a loose puck in the Edmonton end and flipped it toward the net through traffic hoping for a tip-in. Instead, it glanced off Stuart Skinner's shoulder and into the cage. Bryson has played only 19 NHL games this season and had exactly one goal in each of his first three campaigns for the Sabres, so it's unlikely he'll be adding to his total any time soon. None
Feb. 24, 2024 Bryson provided an assist that held up as the game-winner in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets. - Bryson danced around the blue line and fed Connor Clifton for his partner's first goal with the Sabres. The former continues to hold down the fort while Owen Power (hand) remains on injured reserve, with Bryson's running total consisting of three assists, five hits and 14 blocked shots through 11 games. At least in terms of assists and points, the 26-year-old has that same output with AHL Rochester this season. None
Feb. 14, 2024 Bryson picked up two assists while adding two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Kings. - The 26-year-old blueliner collected his first points in six NHL games this season, getting a regular shift with Owen Power (hand) sidelined. Bryson hasn't shown much offensive upside as a pro -- his best season in the AHL came in 2019-20, when he scored four goals and 27 points in 61 games for Rochester -- and he's unlikely to make much fantasy impact in an expanded role. None
Jan. 22, 2024 Bryson was summoned from AHL Rochester on Monday. - Bryson will accompany the Sabres on the team's upcoming three-game road trip in California. He will probably continue to serve as an extra defender unless injuries occur. None
Jan. 20, 2024 Bryson was sent to AHL Rochester on Saturday. - Bryson, who has only played in three games this season, hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 4 against Toronto. If he stays in the minors for a bit, he should get some much-needed playing time. Bryson had nine points, 27 shots on goal, 69 blocked shots and 34 hits in 59 appearances with the Sabres during the 2022-23 campaign. None
Jan. 18, 2024 Bryson was called up from AHL Rochester on Thursday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. - Bryson has an assist in nine games with Rochester this season. In three games with Buffalo, he has no points, a minus-1 rating, two hits and six blocks. None
Dec. 18, 2023 Bryson was waived by the Sabres on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports. - Bryson's waiving comes after the blueliner served as a healthy scratch for the last 20 games. With Jack Quinn (Achilles) expected to return soon, waiving Bryson will provide Buffalo with the necessary roster opening. Bryson should see significantly more minutes with AHL Rochester if he clears waivers. None
Oct. 16, 2023 Bryson has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the 2023-24 season. - In 59 games last season, Bryson chipped in one goal, eight assists, 69 blocked shots and 34 hits. However, he has begun the 2023-24 campaign as Buffalo's eighth defenseman. Barring injuries, the 25-year-old defender could be sitting in the press box for a while. None
March 7, 2023 Bryson registered an assist in Monday's 3-2 defeat to Edmonton. - Bryson finally ended his 26-game pointless streak that stretched back to Dec. 7 versus Columbus. Still, if the 25-year-old blueliner can pick up at least one more point this season, he'll match his career best of 10 set last season. GIven his lack of offensive upside, Bryson shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value moving forward. None
Dec. 29, 2022 Bryson (lower body) will return to the lineup Thursday against Detroit, according to coach Don Granato. - Bryson has sat out the last three games with the injury. He has two goals and eight points with a minus-15 rating in 25 games this season. None
Dec. 16, 2022 Bryson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly. - Bryson missed Thursday's game against the Avalanche and now he'll be out until at least Dec. 23 against Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old has eight points with a minus-15 rating through 25 games this season. Jeremy Davies was promoted to replace him on the roster for now. None
Dec. 15, 2022 Bryson is dealing with a lower-body injury and will consequently miss Thursday's game against Colorado, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News. - Bryson has a goal and eight points in 25 games this season. Lawrence Pilut, who was a healthy scratch in the Sabres' previous three contests, is expected to draw into the lineup. None
Dec. 7, 2022 Bryson dished out two assists in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jackets. - Bryson's helpers came 3:09 apart late in the second period. He helped out on Tage Thompson's fifth goal of the night, then assisted on Alex Tuch's marker in the final minute of the middle frame. Bryson's only other multi-point performance this season came Oct. 20, and he has eight points in 22 appearances overall. None
Dec. 4, 2022 Bryson (lower body) will be back in the lineup Sunday against San Jose, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. - Bryson is projected to play alongside Casey Fitzgerald on Buffalo's third pairing after missing the past four games. He has provided one goal, five assists, nine shots on net, 31 blocks and 14 hits in 20 appearances this season. None
Dec. 3, 2022 Bryson (lower body) may be ready to return to the lineup Sunday against San Jose, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. - Bryson was on the ice for Saturday's practice and could be available to play for the first time since Nov. 23 on Sunday. He has recorded one goal, five assists, nine shots on net and 31 blocks in 20 games this season. None
Nov. 29, 2022 Bryson (lower body) is making progress but won't play Wednesday against Detroit, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports. - Bryson is trending toward being day-to-day after being listed as week-to-week. He hasn't played since Nov. 23. None
Nov. 25, 2022 Bryson (undisclosed) is not at practice Friday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. - Bryson was unable to finish Wednesday's game against St. Louis, as he left the contest late in the second period and did not return. He is week-to-week at this time. Bryson has a goal and five assists in 20 games. None
Nov. 4, 2022 Bryson scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes. - Bryson opened the scoring just 28 seconds into the game on an assist from Dylan Cozens. The goal gave Bryson points in consecutive contests for the first time this season. The 24-year-old defenseman is at one goal, four helpers, six shots on net, 16 blocked shots, five hits and a minus-1 rating in 11 appearances. None
Oct. 20, 2022 Bryson recorded a pair of assists, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames. - Bryson picked up his first two points of the year in this contest, though he also struggled a bit in his own zone. The 24-year-old has held down a spot on the third pairing, and that should continue in the near term with Ilya Lyubushkin (lower body) and Henri Jokiharju (face) battling injuries. Bryson has added four blocked shots, a minus-3 rating, two PIM and two hits in four games. None
July 10, 2022 Bryson signed a two-year, $1.85 million AAV extension with Buffalo on Sunday. - Bryson averaged 18:21 of ice time with 10 points in 73 games last season. The 24-year-old will likely skate in a bottom-four role with Buffalo again next season. He's tallied 19 points in 111 career NHL games after he was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. None
April 24, 2022 Bryson supplied an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Islanders. - Bryson's helper took place at even strength and ended up being clutch in this tightly contested matchup. Nonetheless, his power-play role has shrunk precipitously as the season comes to a close, which is a bit of a letdown considering seven of his 10 points this season have been tallied on the man advantage. None
Jan. 29, 2022 Bryson produced a power-play assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Coyotes. - Bryson set up a Kyle Okposo tally in the first period, with the former earning his first point in his last nine outings. The 24-year-old Bryson missed time with an upper-body injury and also had a stint in the COVID-19 protocols in that span. The defenseman is up to eight helpers, 20 shots on net, 26 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 35 appearances. He's mostly a power-play specialist on offense, but fantasy managers can likely find higher-scoring blueliners on the waiver wire. None
Jan. 22, 2022 Bryson (upper body) will play Saturday against the Flyers. - Bryson will return to a third-pairing role and a spot on the Sabres' second power-play unit following his three-game absence. He's tallied seven helpers through 32 contests this campaign. None
Jan. 21, 2022 Bryson (upper body) was skating at Friday's practice, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. - Bryson may return for Saturday's game against Ottawa. The 24-year-old was skating at Friday's practice but remains a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's contest. He has averaged 19:36 of ice time -- 1:19 during the power play -- and distributed seven assists over 32 appearances this season. None
Jan. 20, 2022 Bryson (upper body) is still listed as day-to-day on the Sabres' injury report and won't be an option versus Dallas on Thursday. - While it's certainly good news to have Bryson in the day-to-day category, he is still going to be sidelined for his third straight game due to his upper-body issue. Considering the blueliner remains goalless in 32 games this year, he's unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value even once cleared to play, though five of his seven helpers were scored with the man advantage. None
Jan. 18, 2022 Bryson (upper body) will not be available Tuesday against Ottawa. - Bryson will miss a second consecutive game Tuesday and it's still unclear how severe his injury is. Mattias Samuelsson should continue filling in during his absence. None
Jan. 16, 2022 Bryson was ruled out for Monday's contest against Detroit on Sunday. - Bryson has averaged 19:36 of ice time -- 1:19 during the power play -- and has tallied seven assists over 32 games this season. The severity of his upper-body injury is unclear, optimistically he is questionable for Tuesday's contest versus Ottawa. A clearer recovery timeline will be established as the details of his injury are disclosed. None
Jan. 5, 2022 Bryson cleared COVID-19 protocols Wednesday but won't play Thursday versus San Jose, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports. - The defenseman had been in virus protocols since Dec. 29. Bryson should return to the lineup for next Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. None
Dec. 29, 2021 Bryson was designated for the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday. - Bryson will miss the Sabres' next matchup against the Devils but could return as soon as Thursday if he submits two negative COVID-19 tests. Through his eight December appearances, the 24-year-old has recorded two assists. None
Dec. 4, 2021 Bryson notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Hurricanes. - Bryson set up Zemgus Girgensons for a goal late in the second period. The 24-year-old Bryson has emerged as a bit of a power-play specialist -- five of his six points, all assists, have come with the man advantage. He's added 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-4 rating in 23 appearances. None
Dec. 1, 2021 As expected, Bryson (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Florida, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. - Bryson will likely slot into a top-four role for Thursday's contest. The 24-year-old defender has tallied five assists through 21 games this season. None
Nov. 29, 2021 Bryson (undisclosed) was a late scratch for Monday's tilt with Seattle, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports. - Bryson was on the ice for warmups but left before taking line rushes. Monday will be his first missed game of the season and he'll be replaced by Will Butcher. An update on his status should be available before Thursday's matchup with the Panthers. None
Nov. 4, 2021 Bryson notched a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken. - Bryson has quietly been effective this season with five assists (four on the power play) through 10 contests. He's not generating many chances on his own with just four shots on net. The Ontario native has added a plus-2 rating, eight hits and nine blocked shots, but he could be worth a look in deeper formats as long as he plays with the man advantage. None
