Buffalo Sabres Playoff scenarios

The Buffalo Sabres can clinch home ice advantage for the 1st round of the NHL playoffs with a win tonight. The Sabres are currently tied for 1st place in the Atlantic Division with the Montreal Canadians.

Buffalo Sabres Could Clinch Home Ice Advantage

The Buffalo Sabres are back on the ice tonight in Chicago to take on the Blackhawks with a chance to clinch home ice advantage in the opening round of the NHL playoffs. The Sabres are currently tied with Montreal with 106 points, but a win tonight would guarantee home ice advantage in the opening round of the NHL playoffs.

With a win tonight, the worst playoff seed the Sabres could get would be 2nd place in the Atlantic division, which would give them home ice advantage in the opening round.

Of course, the Sabres still have a chance to win the Atlantic Division and would need to win both games for a chance to win the Eastern Conference. The Carolina Hurricanes only need one point in their next two games to clinch the Eastern Conference Title.
