The Buffalo Sabres suffered a 3-1 defeat against the Boston Bruins, marking their 13th consecutive loss. Despite being competitive, a late-game goal by Morgan Geekie sealed their fate. The Sabres were unable to challenge the goal due to a lack of video review grounds, as the contact with goalie James Reimer was deemed incidental.

With the playoffs slipping away, the focus shifts to potential roster changes. Speculations arise about General Manager Kevyn Adams' future and possible trades, particularly with the Philadelphia Flyers, as the trade freeze comes to an end.
