The Sabres infamously lost 18 games in a row in 2020-21, tying the 2003-04 Pittsburgh Penguins. They also lost 14 straight games during the 2014-15 campaign, which the Sabres will aim to avoid tying against the New York Islanders tonight (Dec. 23).
This is simply a jaw-dropping stat from the Sabres, especially considering that no other team has had multiple losing streaks of at least 13 games in the salary cap era. It will be interesting to see if they can get out of this massive funk soon.
