‘Buffalo was looking to avoid finishing in last place in the NHL standings with a win, but with the loss, the Sabres will officially finish in in last place. The Sabres are the first team in NHL history to finish in 31st place during the regular season, and have now finished in last place for the third time in five seasons. For finishing in last place, the Sabres now have the best odds of winning the first pick in the NHL Draft Lottery on April 28.’
