Malenstyn picked up two assists while adding five hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canadiens.
Malenstyn earned his first points of the season in his seventh game, but he's made his presence felt on the fourth line with 30 hits. The 28-year-old isn't much of a scoring threat. He scored a career-high seven goals over 81 regular-season games in 2025-26. However, he's an effective grinder in a limited role.

Malenstyn agreed to terms on a six-year, $17.5 million contract with Buffalo on Monday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Malenstyn registered a career-high seven goals in 2025-26, but was limited to just 14 points in 81 regular-season games, failing to reach the 20-point threshold for the second straight year. While the Sabres would certainly take some offensive contributions from the 28-year-old forward, his real value for the team and fantasy managers is his physicality, having racked up 282 hits last year, fifth-most in the NHL.

Malenstyn scored a goal, doled out four hits and blocked four shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4.
Malenstyn ended an eight-game goal drought with this tally. The 28-year-old forward has earned two points, three shots on net, 15 hits, five blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four playoff contests this year. He's in the playoffs for the second time in his career -- he went scoreless over four appearances for the Capitals in the 2024 postseason.

Malenstyn scored a goal and dished out four hits in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Washington.
Malenstyn found the back of the net just over halfway into the opening period to put the Sabres within one goal. Overall, he is up to seven goals, 14 points, 69 shots on net, 261 hits and 70 blocked shots across 76 games this season. While he has been inconsistent at times offensively this season, the 28-year-old center has notched two goals and five points over his last 13 games. His fantasy value is limited to deep leagues that value banger stats.

Malenstyn scored a goal on two shots, added five PIM and doled out five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Malenstyn snapped a five-game point drought with the tally. He also fought for the second game in a row. The 28-year-old plays exclusively on the fourth line, offering plenty of physicality for the Sabres in that role. He has six goals, 10 points, 56 shots on net, 225 hits, 64 blocked shots and 34 PIM through 64 appearances.
RotoWire via ESPN · Mar 11
Malenstyn scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
Malenstyn ended an eight-game point drought with the tally. The 28-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, so he shouldn't be expected to contribute much on offense. He's posted five goals, nine points, 52 shots on net, 202 hits, 57 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 58 appearances, serving as an effective defensive forward.
