Buffalo Sabres set an NHL record that no one wants to be part of
Buffalo Sabres fans, shield your eyes. With the Washington Capitals defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night, the Buffalo Sabres are now eliminated from playoff contention.
With the Sabres now mathematically eliminated, they've set a National Hockey League record for the most consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance at 11.
The last time the Buffalo Sabres played a game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs was April 26th, 2011. It was a Game seven loss in the first round against the Philadelphia Flyers.
While they have set this record that no one wants anything to do with, they do have a bright future, and a solid prospect pool. Owen Power, Jack Quinn, J.J. Peterka, Devon Levi, Isak Rosen are just some of those names in the pipeline that could be donning the gold and royal blue in the coming years. There are also a handful of younger players on the current roster that will have a big impact on the future, those being Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, Dylan Cozens, Peyton Krebs, etc.
