Buffalo Sabres’ Anton Wahlberg Shines as AHL Season Winds Down

Buffalo Sabres

Buffalo Sabres prospect Anton Wahlberg is making headlines as he showcases his potential as a rising star within the organization. Selected 39th overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, Wahlberg is proving to be a valuable asset for the Sabres, who are eager to see him develop into a key player for their roster.

As the 2025-26 season comes to a close, Wahlberg is enjoying a remarkable surge in performance with the Rochester Americans. Currently riding a six-game point streak, he has accumulated two goals and four assists during this impressive run. His offensive contributions have not gone unnoticed, as he clearly finds himself in a rhythm on the ice.

This recent success has elevated Wahlberg’s season totals to nine goals, along with career highs of 27 assists and 36 points across 65 games played. This marks a significant improvement from his previous season, where he recorded 11 goals and 30 points in 63 games with Rochester.

With his current form, the Sabres are optimistic about Wahlberg’s continued development in the AHL. If the 20-year-old maintains this level of performance, he could very well be on the brink of making his NHL debut next season, adding to the excitement surrounding Buffalo’s future.
