On December 15, 2025, after a 14–14–4 start to the season, the Sabres fired general manager Kevyn Adams after more than five seasons and replaced him with Jarmo Kekalainen.[1] The team then embarked on a string of sustained success, with separate win streaks of 10 and 8 games within a 32–6–2 run, the best 40-game run by any team since 1996 and tied for the fourth best in NHL history.[2] The Sabres improved on their 36–39–7 record from the previous season after a 5–1 win on March 5, 2026, against the Pittsburgh Penguins.[3] The streak helped Buffalo clinch just its second winning season since the beginning of the team's playoff drought, which began with the 2011–12 season, and helped the Sabres go from last place in the division in December to first place in the conference by March.[4] Following a win over the New York Islanders on March 31, Buffalo reached 100 points for the first time since the 2009–10 season.[5]

The Sabres ended their 14-season playoff drought when they clinched a playoff spot – for the first time since 2011 – on April 4, after the New York Rangers defeated the Detroit Red Wings.[6] It was the longest such drought in NHL history, and was tied with the New York Jets (whose streak remains ongoing) for the longest active drought in the four major North American sports leagues.[7] Following a 5–1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on April 13, the Sabres clinched their first Atlantic Division title since 2009–10.[8] They defeated the Boston Bruins in the first round of the playoffs 4–2, advancing to the second round for the first time since 2007, where they faced the Montreal Canadiens, losing in 7 games.

Off-season

edit

This season marked significant change in their goaltending lineup, which started with them not resigning their veteran backup goalie from last season, James Reimer, who became their starter late in the season.[11] In July 2025, the team decided to sign journeyman goalie Alex Lyon to become their backup goalie.[12] A few days before the season began, the Sabres signed goaltender Colten Ellis off of waivers from the St. Louis Blues and he became their tertiary option for the rest of the season, with Colten Ellis playing his first ever NHL games during this time period.[13]

The planned starting goaltender, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, suffered an injury during a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, which caused him to miss regular season playing time and resulted in Alex Lyon starting for the first few regular season games.[14] Luukkonen was also injured later in the season, suffering a lower body injury that caused him to miss his planned Olympic starts.[15]

Season summary

edit

Regular season

edit

The Sabres began their season on October 9, 2025, starting off by scoring only two goals in their first three games.[16] For the second year in a row, the Sabres lost their first three games of the season, all three losses being in regulation.[17] They were the only team in the NHL without a road win before their comeback win in Detroit on November 15, 2025.[18]

On October 22, 2025, Colten Ellis started his first NHL game on home ice against the Detroit Red Wings. He stopped 27 shots en route to a regulation win,[19] becoming the first goaltender from Cape Breton Island to play in the NHL, the eighth from Nova Scotia, and the ninth Sabres goaltender to win in their debut.[20]

On December 15, 2025, the Sabres fired general manager Kevyn Adams after reportedly failing to meet a Thanksgiving deadline to show that the team was better compared to last season, with the team having a 9–10–4 record by that point.[21] This firing caused season-wide impact, as the team would go on multiple winning streaks and ultimately return to the playoffs for the first time since 2011.[22]

All three goalies recorded a shutout during the regular season. Lyon shut out the Florida Panthers on October 18, 2025, winning 3–0, the New York Islanders on January 24, 2026, winning 5–0, and the San Jose Sharks on March 19, 2026, winning 5–0.[23] Luukkonen shut out the Vegas Golden Knights on March 17, 2026, winning 2–0.[24] Ellis shut out the Columbus Blue Jackets on April 9, 2026, winning 5–0.[25]

On March 7, 2026, the Sabres played the Tampa Bay Lightning at home for what Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and The New York Times have called "the most eventful NHL game in decades".[26][27][28] The teams combined for 15 goals and 28 penalties (the most since 1993) along with 102 penalty minutes (the most since 1989).[28] There were multiple comebacks during the game. The Sabres led 3–0 and then 4–1 until the Lightning scored five straight, putting them down 6–4, then later 7–5, only to have a multi-goal comeback of their own to win 8–7 in regulation.[29]

Sam Carrick, a veteran centre, was traded to the Buffalo Sabres by the New York Rangers and made an immediate impact upon his arrival. In the 13 regular season games he played, he earned 6 points.[30] On March 31, 2026, Carrick injured his left arm during a fight with Anders Lee, which would cause him to miss the first round series against the Bruins.[31]

Playoffs

edit

Eastern Conference First Round: vs. (WC1) Boston Bruins

edit

The Sabres qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2011 and played the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference First Round. The Sabres–Bruins series marked the ninth time, and first since 2010, the teams have met in the playoffs, tying the most of any Sabres opponent with the Philadelphia Flyers.

The first game occurred on April 19, 2026. Despite trailing 2–0 early in the 3rd period and being given a 5.8% chance of winning, they tied the game with 4 minutes left, with Tage Thompson scoring both goals.[32] Mattias Samuelsson scored with 3 minutes left to take Buffalo’s first lead of the game, which they held on to, winning their first playoff game since 2011.[33] The Sabres joined the New York Americans, with this comeback win, as the only team to win a playoff game in this fashion (the Americans doing so in Game 2 of the 1940 quarterfinals).[34]

In Game 2, after Luukkonen allowed four goals in two periods, Alex Lyon took over his position in relief for his first playoff appearance the 2022–23 season. The Sabres would eventually lose this game 4–2, resulting in their first home regulation loss since March 27, 2026.[35] Following this game, Lyon was given netminding duties for Game 3, marking his first playoff start since April 21, 2023.[36] Noah Ostlund earned his first ever playoff point in his first ever playoff game, assisting on a goal from Bowen Byram, and later earned his first ever playoff goal, scoring an empty netter to seal the victory for the Sabres. Ostlund became the first Sabres rookie to earn multiple points in their first playoff game since 1993.[37][38]

In the fourth game, Owen Power, with his assist on a goal from Bowen Byram, became the first player in franchise history with an assist in each of their first four career playoff games.[39] Josh Doan, Peyton Krebs, Zach Benson, and Byram were the four Sabres who scored during the first period, becoming the first team since the Hartford Whalers in 1991 to score four goals against the Bruins in the first period of a playoff game.[40][41] Beck Malenstyn and Alex Tuch each scored a goal during the third period, marking Malenstyn's first ever playoff goal,[42] making the final score of the game 6–1.[43]

Before the game began, a group of Sabres fans nicknamed the "Blade Gang", who have been at every playoff game with rollerblades and full gear, were outside TD Garden and rolling through North Station. Clips of these fans went viral on TikTok and Ruff commented on the group after the conclusion of the game, "I’ve seen the Blade Gang come to town — pretty cool. I’d actually like to play with those guys. I think it’s the number of years where our fans are really enjoying this. It’s great to see".[44] These fans would later be invited by the team to bang the game drum for Game 5.[45]

Before the fifth game began, Sabres anthem singer Cami Clune was performing “O Canada” when her microphone repeatedly cut out. In response to the technical issue, the home crowd loudly sang the anthem.[46] After the moment went viral on social media, Canadian based brewery Molson Brewery collaborated with local bars in the area to make their beers free during the sixth game as thanks.[47]

During the fifth game, Rasmus Dahlin earned his first career playoff goal after converting on a power play early in the first period.[48] He would be the only goal scorer during the game, and they would eventually lose 2–1 in overtime.[49]

Josh Norris scored his first career playoff goal on an empty net as the Sabres beat the Boston Bruins 4–1 to advance to the second round for the first time since 2007.[50] This marked the first time since the 2006 Eastern Conference semifinals that the Sabres won all their road games in a series.

Eastern Conference Second Round: vs. (A3) Montreal Canadiens

edit

Sam Carrick was originally listed as unavailable for the second round along with Noah Ostlund, with Lindy Ruff saying, "I don’t believe either will be available in this series yet".[51] However, Carrick was cleared by doctors a few days before the second round began, much faster than originally anticipated.[52] Carrick returned to practice the following morning and played during Game 3.[53]

Josh Doan and Zach Benson had points on both Sabres goals scored in the first period, with Doan scoring the first of the game and Ryan McLeod later scoring a power play goal.[54] Jordan Greenway would score his first career playoff goal during the second period.[55] The Sabres would go on to win this game 4–2, marking their first win in the second round since May 6, 2007.[56]

The Sabres struggled in Game 2. A goal from Benson would be the only offensive output for the team, as they would go on to lose 5–1.[57] The Sabres, trying to make up for this loss, would see Thompson score 53 seconds into Game 3. This was the fastest time for the Sabres to score a playoff goal since 2007.[58] Despite the fast start, however, the team would lose hold of the game, giving up 3 goals in the second period and eventually losing 6–2.[59]

Konsta Helenius, playing his first ever NHL playoff game, and Luke Schenn, playing his first ever playoff game for the Sabres, replaced Logan Stanley and Sam Carrick. Additionally, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen replaced Alex Lyon as starting goaltender.[60] Mattias Samuelsson opened up the scoring early in the first period, with a disallowed Jack Quinn goal almost giving the Sabres a 2–0 lead.[61] After giving up 2 goals late in the first period, Tage Thompson tied the game in the second when he dumped a puck off the corner boards, hitting a glass stanchion that made the puck bounce towards the net awkwardly, hitting the surprised Canadiens goalie on the back of the leg which sent it into the net.[62] Zach Benson, celebrating his 21st birthday, scored the game winning goal on the power play early into the third period.[63] Sabres were able to hold on to the lead and win the game 3–2 to tie the series at 2–2.[64]

The Sabres returned home for Game 5 on May 14. Helenius would eventually score his first ever playoff goal in the first period.[65] Buffalo would score 2 more goals in the period and would lead 3–2 after the first. However, they would allow 4 consecutive goals the rest of the game, including three in the second period, en route to a 6–3 loss to push them to the brink of elimination.[66] Game 6 would see a similar outcome, however this time in favor of the Sabres, as they would score seven consecutive goals after going down 3–1 early in the game to win 8–3 in Montreal and force Game 7.[67] Zach Metsa, playing his first NHL playoff game, scored his first playoff goal late into the third period.[68] Dahlin, who recorded four assists and one goal, became the first defenseman in NHL history with five points in an elimination game and the first player overall to earn that honor since 2018.[69]

In Game 7, the Sabres would go down 2–0 after quick goals in the first period by the Canadiens. However, they would slowly claw back during the second and third periods to tie the game, off goals from Greenway and Dahlin. This would allow them to force overtime in Game 7, though they would ultimately fall to the Canadiens after Alex Newhook scored 11 minutes into the extra period, ending their season.[70]
