The Buffalo Sabres’ 2025-26 season ended with a Game 7 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs, despite their impressive 50-win, 109-point performance, marking their first playoff appearance in 14 years. Head coach Lindy Ruff was extended for two years after leading the team to significant success, while forward Alex Tuch expressed interest in re-signing despite being a pending UFA. Key players like Tage Thompson and Owen Power dealt with injuries during the season, and GM Jarmo Kekäläinen faces crucial decisions with limited cap space as they aim to build on this progress. The team also needs to address multiple expiring contracts, including RFAs Peyton Krebs and Zach Benson.
