In 2025-26, it was exceedingly difficult to find success in the Atlantic Division as they had four 100-point teams, which was as many as the other three divisions combined.

Konsta Helenius made his NHL playoff debut for the Sabres, while Luke Schenn entered the lineup, and the goalie cycle moved back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
