Buffalo Sabres Are The NHL's Best Story Of 2025-26
There is no question that the Buffalo Sabres have been the NHL's best story of the 2025-26 season.
The Buffalo Sabres had an ugly start to the 2025-26 season, going 11-14-4 in their first 29 games. With this, it seemed that they would go on to miss the playoffs for the 15th year in a row. Yet, the Sabres not only bounced back from their tough start to the season, but have simply dominated.
At this point in the campaign, the Sabres now have a 46-21-8 record and are at the top of the Atlantic Division standings with 100 points. They have been the NHL's hottest team down the stretch, and it has made them the league's best story of the season. After years of disappointment and being unable to take that next step, the Sabres have done so with style in 2025-26.
They have not only shown that they are capable of being a playoff team, but that they also can be one of the league's top clubs. The only team with more points than the Sabres at this point of the campaign is the Colorado Avalanche. Meanwhile, the Sabres are tied in points with two top contenders in the Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars.
With this, it has truly been a special season for the Sabres.
