The 2022–23 Buffalo Sabres season was the 53rd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on May 22, 1970.^[2] This was the first season since the inaugural season in 1970–71 in which Rick Jeanneret did not call games. With a win against the Detroit Red Wings on April 5, they clinched their first winning season since 2010–11. Despite this, the Sabres missed the playoffs for the 12th consecutive season, finishing one point short of qualifying for a playoff spot as the second wild-card. The Sabres continued the longest playoffs drought in NHL history, as they were eliminated from playoff contention after a loss to the New Jersey Devils on April 11, 2023.^[3]
