SABRES, REIMER SHUTOUT HURRICANES; ARE ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFFS
The Sabres won their fifth straight game last night, shutting out the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 at KeyBank Center. Buffalo skated so well throughout the course of the game and seemed to always be in the right spots defensively. When they weren’t, James Reimer was there to make a save. Reimer made 33 saves on the night in total, earning him first star honors. It’s the first five game winning streak the Sabres have gone on since January of 2023.
Despite the Sabres winning eight of their last nine games, a Montreal win over Detroit last night mathematically eliminated Buffalo from playoff contention. It officially extends Buffalo’s playoff drought to 14 seasons, the longest such stretch in NHL history.
