Last year, the Sabres split the season series with the Canucks, who finished with 90 points. How does Buffalo compare?
It was not good enough. Not by the measurement of points it would have taken to clinch a Wild Card spot. The Buffalo Sabres finished with 79. It was 12 points off the mark. The Montreal Canadiens finished with 91 to secure the final spot in the Eastern Conference.
For Buffalo, they will likely need to hit the 90-point mark this season to even have a chance at the postseason.
