Rasmus Ristolainen passes out two assists, leads Sabres over Panthers

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen pitched in two assists in Buffalo's 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Ristolainen, a six-foot-four 21-year-old, now has five points in his last three games and 10 points in 16 games this season. He is already halfway into his 2014-'15 point total after just 16 games.

We don't see Ristolainen maintaining this pace. Our rest-of-season projections have him with 7 goals and 15 assists over the final 67 games.
