‘He scored. Twenty goals and 33 assists shattered McLeod’s previous career highs (12+18) from 2023-24, and those 53 points tied Jason Zucker for fifth on the Sabres. The production came in bunches, including five games with three or more points – one of which, Jan. 15 versus Carolina, saw McLeod net his first career hat trick. And from Jan. 9-on, he accumulated 35 points in 38 games.’
