About Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres are a professional ice hockey team based in Buffalo, New York, competing in the Atlantic Division of the NHL's Eastern Conference. Founded in 1970 as one of the league's two expansion franchises that season alongside the Vancouver Canucks, the Sabres have one of the most passionate and storied fanbases in the NHL, a city that lives and breathes hockey through the notoriously harsh western New York winters. The 2025–26 season marks the most significant chapter in the franchise's recent history: under returning head coach Lindy Ruff, the Sabres finished first in the Atlantic Division with a 50-23-9 record and 109 points, their best regular season in over a decade while ending the franchise's longest playoff drought in history after 14 consecutive seasons without postseason hockey. The team is captained by defenseman Rasmus Dahlin, a generational talent considered one of the top offensive defensemen in the game, with center Tage Thompson and wingers Alex Tuch and Isak Rosen providing offensive firepower. The Sabres defeated the Boston Bruins in six games in the first round and are currently trailing the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in the second round, a series that has captivated all of western New York.

Frequently Asked Questions about Buffalo Sabres

Where do the Buffalo Sabres play their home games?

The Sabres play at KeyBank Center, an 19,070-seat arena in downtown Buffalo, New York, opened in 1996. The building is one of the louder arenas in the NHL, the combination of a rabid western New York fanbase and the arena's design creates a crowd noise level that visiting teams consistently cite as one of the most hostile environments in the league. KeyBank Center is located in the heart of downtown Buffalo and is walkable from numerous bars and restaurants that anchor the city's thriving pre- and post-game culture.

Who are the key players on the Buffalo Sabres?

The team is anchored by captain Rasmus Dahlin, a Swedish defenseman widely regarded as one of the most gifted offensive blue-liners of his generation, alongside power forward and 40-goal scorer Tage Thompson, right wing Alex Tuch, and emerging winger Isak Rosen. The goaltending tandem has been one of the steadiest in the Atlantic Division throughout the 2025–26 season, and coach Lindy Ruff, returning to Buffalo for a second stint, has brought the defensive structure the team lacked in previous rebuilding seasons.

What has the Buffalo Sabres won?

The Sabres have never won the Stanley Cup, but came closest in 1999 when they reached the Stanley Cup Final before losing to the Dallas Stars in six games, a series remembered in Buffalo for the controversial "no-goal" call in overtime of Game 6. They were finalists again in 1975. The franchise has produced Hall of Famers including Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin, René Robert, Pat LaFontaine, and Dominik Hašek, whose acrobatic goaltending in the late 1990s made the Sabres one of the most exciting teams in the league.
