Sabres on Playoff Verge, Shuffling Roster

On March 30, the Buffalo Sabers are on the verge of their first playoff spot in 15 seasons

with their magic number now down to 7.

That means just 7 more points are losses by the teams chasing them, and Buffalo locks

it in.

They snapped a 3-game skid with a gritty shootout win over the Seattle Kraken, rallying

from two goals down to grab two huge points at home.

Earlier this week, both the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wing sit at 86 points with

9 games left, maxing out at 1.04.

Subtract the Sabers 98 points, and boom, that's your magic number of 7.

This win keeps the momentum alive as the stretch run heats up.

Injury Wolves continue to test the roster death.

Jordan Greenway is backscating after hernia treatment, but not game ready yet.

Jury coolishes out for the season with a blood clot, but doing light work.

Justin Danforce post surgery, but still hurting from that lower body issue.

Defenseman Zach Metsa got sent down to clear space for Connor Timmins, who's returning

from his own lower body injury.

These moves show the coaching staff shuffling to stay fresh down the wire.

Buffalo faces the New York Islanders at home, Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, then heads to Ottawa

Thursday and Washington Saturday, both at 7pm.

Winds here could seal the deal fast eyes on Buffalo as they chase history.
