Will the Sabres' playoff drought finally end? Will any Buffalo players win an NHL award? Here's what the oddsmakers say.
The Buffalo Sabres will attempt to make their long-awaited return to the playoffs at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. Their current 14-year postseason drought is the longest in NHL history, and the oddsmakers remain bearish on the team's imminent outlook.
Buffalo made some modest additions throughout the summer, headlined by the arrivals of Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring as part of the blockbuster JJ Peterka trade, but there are real questions about whether enough upgrades were made after missing the playoffs by 12 points last season.
