Buffalo Sabres
Team Analytics & Player Statistics
2025-26 Season
Buffalo surges into contention behind stellar goaltending and new offensive depth.
The Sabres are enjoying a significant turnaround this season, jumping from a sub-50% pace last year to a formidable 67.1% points percentage. The primary driver of this transformation is vastly improved goaltending, with Alex Lyon posting a .915 SV% and 2.54 GAA compared to last season's starter's .886 SV% and 3.20 GAA. This defensive stability has been complemented by a breakout season from Mattias Samuelsson (proj. 46 pts vs 14 last year), alongside a productive rookie campaign from Josh Doan (proj. 54 pts). Despite the absence of JJ Peterka (0 GP this year vs 77 last year), the team's overall depth and defensive commitment have propelled them into contention.
