Professional ice hockey team season
The 2021β22 Buffalo Sabres season was the 52nd season for the
National Hockey League franchise that was established on May 22, 1970.
[2] The Sabres failed to snap their ten-year playoff drought, having last qualified for the playoffs in the
2010β11 season .
The league returned to its normal October-to-April scheduling, a full 82-game regular season which began on October 12, 2021, but this was contingent on the
COVID-19 pandemic and the
Government of Canada reducing its COVID-19 cross-border travel restrictions. As a result, the Sabres rejoined the
Atlantic Division after a one-season stint in the
East Division due to realignment under the league's return to play protocols.
[3]
[4] On April 6, 2022, after the
Washington Capitals defeated the
Tampa Bay Lightning , the Sabres were eliminated from playoff contention for the 11th straight season, setting an
NHL record .
