Sabres, Rangers Duel for Atlantic Lead as NHL Playoff Race Heats Up

With nine games left in the regular season, the Buffalo Sabres visit the New York Rangers in a game that could push Buffalo into sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Division (they’re tied at 102 points with Tampa Bay and Montreal). The Rangers are looking to finish strong at home in their final home game as playoff implications loom; the schedule also features the Capitals at the Maple Leafs and the Oilers at the Sharks, all with postseason seeding on the line as teams chase wild cards and division titles.

Sabres blow late lead as Bruins edge Buffalo in OT after Timmins's return

Buffalo led late in the third but blew a 3-2 lead and fell 4-3 in overtime to Boston after a rough first two periods, with Zach Benson initiating the third-period surge and Jason Zucker scoring twice on the power play; Casey Mittelstadt tied the game on a quirky bounce, and Pavel Zacha finished the OT winner. Timmins returned from injury and was solid on the penalty kill, Dahlin’s presence was noted as a lift off the ice, and Buffalo’s power play went 2-for-3 while the PK went 2-for-2. The Sabres remain atop their division with 96 points but must curb late-game collapses.

Late-Scramble Finish Lifts Capitals to 2-1 Win in Buffalo

Malkin Ejected for Slashing Dahlin as Penguins Fall to Sabres

Evgeni Malkin was ejected from the Penguins’ 5-1 loss to the Sabres after slashing Rasmus Dahlin across the face and then cross-checking him; Dahlin was penalized for cross-checking. Malkin received a five-minute major and will have a hearing with NHL Player Safety on Friday, potentially facing suspension. The Penguins, already without Sidney Crosby, could be further impacted if Malkin is suspended.

Parayko Stays Put as a Quiet, Term‑Driven NHL Deadline Unfolds

A notably quiet NHL trade deadline saw teams value term and player autonomy over blockbuster swaps: Colton Parayko stayed in St. Louis, blocking a Blues rebuild path and leaving Buffalo without the big defense addition; Colorado boosted its center depth with Kadri and Nic Roy; Edmonton still lacked a true scoring winger or elite goalie; Anaheim added John Carlson to spark offense; Minnesota and New York didn’t land game‑changing pieces; Toronto scored a late first‑round pick for Nic Roy while Chicago kept selling. The goalie market underwhelmed, and the overarching takeaway is that depth and term won the day more than splashy deals.

Parayko Won’t Waive NTC, Blues Stay Put as Trade Deadline Approaches

Colton Parayko won’t waive his no-trade clause today and is expected to stay with the St. Louis Blues through the trade deadline, despite earlier signals he might approve a deal to the Buffalo Sabres; TSN insider Pierre LeBrun says all indications are Parayko will remain in St. Louis for now, with his eight-year contract carrying two more years of full no-trade protection before later reverting to a 15-team list. The Sabres, meanwhile, responded by adding size to their blueline with Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn from Winnipeg.

Buffalo adds Carrick from Rangers to bolster 4C and defensive depth

Buffalo is set to acquire center Sam Carrick from the New York Rangers in exchange for Buffalo’s third-round pick and Chicago’s sixth-round pick in this year’s draft. Carrick, 34, is on a three-year, $3 million contract with a $1 million cap hit and has been a steady defensive 4C for the Rangers, posting 10 goals and 30 points in 140 games with strong 5-on-5 possession, a 54.1% faceoff win rate, and a +3 rating this season. He provides the Sabres with a cost-effective, plug-and-play option behind their top trio, addressing 4C depth and cap considerations as they navigate deals for next season.

Parayko uses no-trade clause to halt Blues-Sabres trade

Colton Parayko invoked his full no‑trade protection to veto a Blues-to-Sabres deal that had been in framework, keeping the Blues’ top defenseman in St. Louis and forcing Buffalo to pivot to other defensive options as the trade market tightens; the move underscores ongoing Blues retooling and the evolving no-trade protections in Parayko’s contract.
