Latest news and updates about the Sabres
The Edmonton Oilers found themselves on a bit of a run, and there was no better opportunity to extend their winning streak to three games than a visit by the awful Buffalo Sabres in the second half of a back-to-back. Of course, that’s what sets up the trap. This should be a layup. A slam…

The Buffalo Sabres just took another gut punch. Veteran winger Jason Zucker, arguably their best forward over the past few weeks, is out with a lower-body injury and “going to miss some time,” according to head coach Lindy Ruff on WGR 550. Zucker was banged up during Monday’s 7–4 loss to the Calgary Flames , left briefly in the second period, returned, then appeared to aggravate the issue after a late slash from MacKenzie Weegar. He’s now on injured reserve, meaning he’ll miss at l...

Three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and the Buffalo Sabres being in the league’s basement. During the late 1990s to late 2000s, the Sabres were a perennial contender, making the Stanley Cup Finals once and making numerous appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals, with their last appearance in the third round coming in…

The last time the Buffalo Sabres made the NHL playoffs, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was playing with the Red Deer Rebels in the Western Hockey League and would be drafted first overall two months later.

Here’s the thing about the Buffalo Sabres: they’re bad. Like, historically bad. They’ve missed the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons, which is the longest drought in NHL history. They finished the 2024-25 season with a 36-39-7 record. They spent most of December in 31st place overall, tied with the Chicago Blackhawks at 26 points. This…

The Flyers did not have the greatest start to December, going 1-2-0 in their three games on the week. Things didn’t start well in a lopsided 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins that saw the Flyers not only lose the game, but also one of their best players; Tyson Foerster injured himself taking a slap shot, and will miss the next two or three months as a result . The good news was that the Flyers took that loss to the Penguins in stride, soundly beating the struggling Buffalo Sabres 5-2. S...

The Buffalo Sabres are still at the bottom of the standings and are last in the Eastern Conference. The roster and coaching have changed so much during their long playoff drought, but this time it needs to be management. With or without a change, there are some players that the Sabres have to move on from one way or another for different reasons by next season. Jordan Greenway The Sabres aren't getting much from Jordan Greenway and choose to play him on the top line, which is more questionable...

The image to the left is a view I rarely find myself able to see unless I'm watching TimBits hockey. Even then, there's usually an army of parents cheering on their kids from ice level that force me to sit higher up in the stands. I'm not complaining since I don't have a kid on the ice, but the the point is that I rarely get to enjoy a hockey game at any level down at ice level. Being that I was offered a ticket to the Winnipeg Jets game tonight as they battled the Buffalo Sabres, I couldn't s...

The Flyers seemed to suffer another blow in the injury department last night in their win over the Sabres, as they lost Cam York to what was clarified post-game as an upper body injury in the second period. York got hit up high towards the middle of the frame and stayed in the game long enough to get involved in the scrum which ensued after Trevor Zegras got pasted into the board by Rasmus Dahlin with about three minutes to go, but this would be his final shift. The Flyers weren’t able to...
