Career Statistics with the Buffalo Sabres

837 games, 804 points, 368 goals, 436 assists, 15.7 shooting percentage

Fun Fact: Dave Andreychuk scored a goal in his NHL debut. And it set the stage for what would become an outstanding 12-year career with the Sabres. He went on to lead the Sabres in goals on four occasions, and he also paced the team in points for three consecutive seasons between 1985-86 and 1987-88.

During his prime, Andreychuk stood at a towering 6’4 and weighed 220lb. He especially excelled on the power play, routinely using his body to put himself in pristine position to find twine. And amazingly, as of August 2022, Andreychuk is second all-time in power play goals with 274. He also led the league in the category in 1991-92, and 1992-93.

When you think of the top three goal scorers in Buffalo Sabres history, the French Connection often invades your mind. But believe it or not, Andreychuk’s 368 goals beat Rene Robert’s 222, and his 0.439 goals per game also edges out Robert, who scored 0.423 per game. Andreychuk is also second in team history in points scored, with a solid 0.96 points per game.
