Sabres Snap NHL's Longest Playoff Drought Since 2011

The Buffalo Sabres stand on the brink of ending the league's most infamous playoff drought, a 15-year curse that's haunted front offices from LaFontaine's era to today. With a win or even a point against the Caps, they punch their ticket back to the dance for the first time since 2011, and the building shakes like it hasn't in years. GM Kevyn Adams has this group believing after years of close calls and heartbreak, but Washington smells blood and won't go quietly into Buffalo's night.
