"The Buffalo Sabres are the hottest team in the NHL. Coming into the 2025-26 season nobody expected those words but it is in fact true. The Sabres have climbed back into the playoff conversation, riding a league-high nine-game winning streak. This comes at a great time as the Atlantic Division is up for grabs this season. Buffalo is no longer at the bottom of the Atlantic Division and now sits fifth place."
"The current nine-game winning streak is the franchise's longest such streak since winning ten straight from November 8 through 27, 2018. This feat also marks the fifth time in franchise history that the team has had a winning streak of eight games or more. Center Tage Thompson leads the team in scoring with 34 points on 18 goals and 16 assists and has five goals and six assists for 11 points during the winning streak."
The Buffalo Sabres have surged to a league-high nine-game winning streak and moved into fifth place in the Atlantic Division with a 20-14-4 record (44 points). The team is five points out of first, posts a 12-5-2 home record and an 8-9-2 road record, and is 7-2-2 within the division. The streak is the franchise's longest since a ten-game run in 2018 and marks the fifth time Buffalo has won eight or more straight. Tage Thompson leads scoring with 34 points, while goaltender Alex Lyon has ten wins. A recent GM change coincided with the surge, and Buffalo now shares the final playoff spot with the Florida Panthers, who hold the tiebreaker via more regulation wins.
