Sabres End 15-Year Playoff Drought With Stunning Third-Period Comeback

Buffalo's return to playoff hockey after a decade and a half of futility came down to one wild third period at KeyBank Center. The Sabres clawed back from a deficit against the Boston Bruins in a 4-3 victory that felt like vindication for a franchise that's been knocking on the door. This wasn't just a win - it was the kind of statement moment that can shift momentum in a series and energize a fan base that's waited far too long for this.
