Buffalo’s NHL-record postseason drought stands at 14 seasons entering the 2025-26 campaign with a 36-39-7 effort in 2024-25 that left the Sabres 12 points out of a playoff berth. The club picked up defenseman Michael Kesselring and winger Josh Doan from the Utah Mammoth for winger JJ Peterka, and signed veteran goalie Alex Lyon, winger Justin Danforth and defenseman Conor Timmins to two-year deals. The Sabres traded blue-line regular Connor Clifton to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Columbus made a run for the playoffs following the death of seven-time All-Star winger Johnny Gaudreau in August 2024 but came up one win short. The Blue Jackets added some veteran grit, acquiring center Charlie Coyle and winger Miles Wood from the Colorado Avalanche for young center Gavin Brindley and two draft picks. They also picked up checking-line center Isac Lundeström on a two-year free-agent contract.

Coach Lindy Ruff returns to the Sabres for the second season of his second stint with the club while Dean Evason is back behind the Columbus bench for his second season. Tage Thompson topped Buffalo in scoring last season with 44 goals and 72 points while defenseman Zach Werenski had 23 goals and 82 points for the Blue Jackets, with Kirill Marchenko scoring a team-high 31 goals.
