Earlier this month, defenseman Louis Crevier, who was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks this summer as part of the Bowen Byram trade, cited feeling at home in the city and the locker room as part of his motivation behind signing a 4-year ex

As a young and talented defenseman with a unique combination of physical build and skill, Mrtka holds significant value both as a player and as a potential trade chip. Mrtka is a 6-foot-6, right-shot defenseman, originally from Czechia, who played for the Seattle Thunderbirds in the Western Hockey L

The Buffalo Sabres struggled through a winless week, with Jack Quinn continuing to shine as the team looks to bounce back on its upcoming California road trip.

The Buffalo Sabres are off to a 4-4-1 (nine points) and had their four game point streak snapped on Wednesday night as they fell to the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1. Over a four‑game stretch from Oct. 12–17, the Sabres were without their captain and best player, Rasmus Dahlin, who has been sidelined with a lower‑body injury. In past seasons, losing Dahlin for any amount of time usually meant the team was in trouble, they wouldn’t just drop games, they wouldn’t even pick up points.

If there was one theme throughout the week, it was Buffalo’s ability to battle back. The Sabres trailed at some point in all four games and faced deficits of two or more goals in th

Courtesy Plato's Closet West Seneca So I recently celebrated my wedding anniversary with my wife by spending a couple days in Toronto, including a stay in Maple leaf square. I don’t know if my stay behind enemy lines had anything to do with the Sabres' come from behind win at Scotiabank arena last night, but I will happily take any credit I can get. A big goal on the trip was to explore some of the city’s thrift stores, which my wife has really gotten me into in the last coup

The Buffalo Sabres open their regular season tonight on Thursday, Oct. 1, when they travel to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets. After hitting the 50‑win mark and capturing the Atlantic Division for the first time in 20 years last season, the team enters 2026–27 looking to build on that success and push even further.

Last season, the Sabres finally conquered the playoff drought by finishing first in the Atlantic Division, second in the Eastern Conference regular season standings, and beating the Boston Bruins to advance to the second round of the playoffs; before eventuall

Robert Edwards-USA TODAY Sports The Buffalo Sabres played their second preseason game on Tuesday night, defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets 5–1. It was the first preseason matchup featuring their full NHL roster, as most teams typically showcase their regular lineup on home ice for their fans. Even though Columbus iced mostly non‑roster players, the Sabres still looked sharp. They made simple plays, played fast, and brought plenty of physicality. Unfortunately, a couple of ne

Buffalo Sabres photo Following the Buffalo Sabres best season in over a decade, General Manager Jarmo Kekäläinen and Head Coach Lindy Ruff held a press conference ahead of training camp to discuss what the next year would look like. Both Kekäläinen and Ruff made it clear that they would not be coming into camp complacent despite last season’s impressive 50-win, 109-point Atlantic Division championship. This mindset echoes the bold choices management made over the offseason, i

The Buffalo Sabres signed forward Noah Ostlund to an eight-year contract extension that carries an annual average value (AAV) of $6.6 million. Now, I've seen some discourse online where people are calling it a "massive overpay" or that "they never heard of Ostlund until now." Well, all the Sabres needed to see was how he impacted the team last season and decided to keep him around long-term. Ostlund Will Exceed the Contract Expectations Last season, Ostlund appeared in 60 reg

Riding a five-game winning streak, Buffalo sits third in the Atlantic Division and has firmly positioned itself as a legitimate postseason contender, which comes as welcome news for a fanbase that has waited 14 years to hear it.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like a Christmas miracle in Buffalo. The Sabres entered the holiday break as the hottest team in the NHL, riding a league-leading seven-game winning streak and sitting just two points out of a playoff spot.

Out of a possible eight points, the Sabres collected five, earning wins over Detroit and Toronto before falling in overtime to close out the week.
