The 2020β21 Buffalo Sabres season was the 51st season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on May 22, 1970. [1]
On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the CanadaβUnited States border. As a result of this realignment the Sabres played this season in the East Division and only played games against the other teams in their new division during the regular season.
With an 18th consecutive loss on March 29, 2021, the Sabres equalled the NHL record for the longest losing streak in a season, tied with the 2003β04 Pittsburgh Penguins. [2] In that game, the Sabres blew a 3β0 lead and lost 4β3 in overtime.
On April 17, the Sabres were eliminated from playoff contention after a 3β2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, extending their playoff drought to ten seasons, tying an NHL record. [3]
In the Sabres' 18-game losing streak, they were 0β15β3 (two overtime losses and one shootout loss). In the first 34 games, they were 6β23β5 for 17 points. In their final 22 games, they were 9β11β2, ultimately finishing with a 15β34β7 record for 37 points. For the fourth time in eight seasons, the Sabres finished with the worst record in the whole NHL.
The Sabres introduced three new jerseys for the season. On August 11, 2020, the Sabres revealed their new uniforms, which was an updated version of the team's original jerseys. The team reintroduced their original royal blue, gold, and white colors, which was worn by the team from 1970 to 1996. [4] On November 16, 2020, the NHL introduced Adidas "Reverse Retro" jerseys for all 31 teams, which feature throwback uniforms with a modern twist. [5] The Sabres' Reverse Retro jersey is a modern update to the team's first third jersey worn in 2000, with the exception being that it was done in the team's current colors on a white template.
