Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sabres in July of 2025.
Pots first career NHL goal
Metsa scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old rookie pounced on a loose puck and gave the Sabres a 4-0 lead early in the third period, a goal that wound up being the game-winner after the Canucks staged a late rally. It was Metsa's first career NHL point in his 12th game, and he should continue to fill a bottom-pairing role while Conor Timmins (leg) and Michael Kesselring (lower body) remain on the shelf.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
NHL debut likely on tap
Metsa will likely make his NHL debut against the Canadiens on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old was recalled by the Sabres on Thursday, and while head coach Lindy Ruff didn't reveal the lineup following Monday's morning skate, Metsa seems likely to suit up since he left the ice early. He's made two appearances for AHL Rochester this year, and he was held to no points with a minus-2 rating.
