After taking care of business and collecting seven of eight points on the road, the Buffalo Sabres are in the home stretch (literally) of the 2025-26 regular season.<\/p>\n

Buffalo will play seven of its last 11 games at KeyBank Center, beginning Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. against the Boston Bruins.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing back from a long trip, you always fear that first game, to get settled in,\u201d said coach Lindy Ruff, turning his focus to the next game as always, after Sunday\u2019s 6-5 overtime loss in Anaheim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well, the Sabres have had eight multi-game road trips this season, and they\u2019ve gone 6-1-0 in those first games back home. Overall, they\u2019re 22-9-3 (.691) at home, which would be their best home record since 2006-07 (.720).<\/p>\n

The Sabres have drawn 11 consecutive sellout crowds, and the home-ice support should only keep growing with the playoffs weeks away.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s visitors are a very realistic playoff opponent, and if the season ended today, the Bruins would be returning to Buffalo to open the first round. The Sabres have gone 1-1-1 against them this season.<\/p>\n
