Henri Jokiharju

Henri Jokiharju scored his second goal of the season and posted a plus-2 rating in Buffalo’s commanding 8-2 victory over the Rangers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Jokiharju snapped a six-game point drought with his late third-period tally. While he also found the scoresheet for Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off, his offensive output at the NHL level has been underwhelming, with just five points across 40 games. The 25-year-old remains a depth defenseman, offering more stability than Buffalo’s fringe blue-line options but lacking consistent fantasy appeal. His role in the Sabres' bottom-four limits his production, making him a low-priority option outside of deep leagues.

Henri Jokiharju went without a point in the Sabres' 3-2 victory against the Canucks on Tuesday, extending his scoreless streak to 26 games. The defenseman has been scratched 15 times during this stretch, limiting his role on the team.

Fantasy Impact

Jokiharju has struggled to maintain a regular spot in the Sabres’ lineup and remains a depth option on the blue line. With just three points, 41 shots, 30 blocks, and 29 hits across 32 games, his fantasy value is negligible outside of the deepest leagues that reward defensive stats. Until he regains a consistent role or improves offensively, Jokiharju can be left on the waiver wire in most formats.

Henri Jokiharju had an assist during a 4-3 loss to Calgary. He didn't record a shot and finished with a plus-one rating in 14:35 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact

In four games played he has four assists but hasn't scored a goal yet this season but only has four shot attempts early in the year. Last season in 60 games played he had three goals and 10 assists with a minus-12 rating.

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Henri Jokiharju is out week-to-week with a broken bone under his nose.

Fantasy Impact

Jokiharju took a puck to the face in Calgary last Thursday and suffered a broken bone right under his nose. The 23-year-old has seen limited action this season, skating in just four games and averaging 15:49 of ice time, a massive decline from his 21:53 average last season. He's collected just one assist on the season and remains well off the fantasy radar.

Jokiharju had the secondary helper on Buffalo's second period power play goal as they defeated the Flyers.

Fantasy Impact

Buffalo's defenseman has assists in three consecutive games and is setting career highs in points (18) and assists (15) this season.
