Buffalo Sabres erreichen erstmals nach 14 Saisons wieder die Play-offs

Die Buffalo Sabres haben sich am 4. April 2026 zum ersten Mal seit 2011 einen Play-off-Platz in der NHL gesichert, nachdem die New York Rangers die Detroit Red Wings besiegt hatten. Der entscheidende Moment trat gegen 15 Uhr EST ein und beendete damit eine 14-jährige Durststrecke. Fans und die Organisation feierten diesen lang ersehnten Erfolg.

Die Play-off-Teilnahme der Sabres wurde am Samstagnachmittag bestätigt, nachdem der Sieg der Rangers die Red Wings aus dem Rennen warf und den Postseason-Platz für Buffalo besiegelte. Damit endet eine Phase, die nach der Niederlage im Viertelfinale der Eastern Conference 2011 gegen die Philadelphia Flyers in Spiel 7 begann. Das Team veröffentlichte in den sozialen Medien ein Video mit der Stimme des verstorbenen Rick Jeanneret, in dem die Bedeutung des Spielens für Buffalo hervorgehoben wurde.
