To get to 94 points, which is where you had to be to get in to the playoffs last year, the Sabres have to go 5 games over .500

Last year isn't this year. They are barely holding on to a spot now. It's going to get much harder with the upcoming schedule.

But 94 points could easily be enough.

Ah, I hadn't realized the NHL made a rule where 94 points guaranteed a playoff spot! Thanks for the info!

How dare you doubt the facts. 94 points made it last year and that is all that matters.

92,92,and 91 made it the previous seasons so we're home free!!! IMO!!!!!!

Do we get to play the Islanders and Leafs every game for the rest of the season? Because if not, we'll be lucky to get to 80 points, let alone 94.

Not a rule of course gents but I would feel good with our chances if we did have 94

Obviously this is my optimistic side coming out, but the team said some pretty strong things after that horrible Washington game and then walked the walked last night. Granted it was against Toronto, but it was a good game. I'll be interested to see how they do tomorrow. Historically, I can't remember them doing well in afternoon games to begin with.
