Despite several strong seasons and two appearances in the Stanley Cup Final (1975 and 1999), the Sabres have never won a championship, and in recent years have become known for their extended playoff drought—the longest active streak in the NHL. Still, the organization has remained committed to rebuilding through young talent and player development. As of the 2025–26 season, the Sabres are focused on reshaping their identity under returning head coach Lindy Ruff, with a roster that includes rising stars like Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and JJ Peterka, plus key acquisitions like Josh Norris and Bowen Byram. The team and its fans are aiming for a turnaround season to break back into playoff contention and reignite hockey energy in Buffalo.

Event Details
SEASON PREVIEW: The 2025–26 season represents another pivotal chapter in the Sabres’ ongoing rebuild, now under the guidance of returning head coach Lindy Ruff, tasked with restoring identity and competitiveness after a 14‑year playoff drought. Buffalo will rely heavily on a talented core featuring Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and Bowen Byram — the latter freshly re-signed to a two‑year deal after a career-high 38 points — anchoring what could be one of the NHL’s most formidable young defensive units. Down the middle, the Sabres expect significant contributions from JJ Peterka and newly acquired Josh Norris, while Jason Zucker offers veteran scoring punch on the wing with a two-year contract extension secured in March 2025. Management has also reinforced the developmental pipeline — adding goalie Topias Leinonen and hiring Brian Galivan as Director of Performance — to support long-term growth and consistency. Building a winning culture remains central to the plan this year, as organizational leaders emphasize improving within and making strides toward ending Buffalo’s playoff drought.
