    The Buffalo Sabres are going to have to win may games next season if they hope just to be in the mix for a playoff berth. And to get to that point, they're going to have to beat some very good teams. One of those teams -- the New York Islanders -- is also desperate to be a playoff team, but there's not room in the playoffs for everybody once the regular-season ends. And that's why we've been examining all of Buffalo's opponents next season,

    In this file -- yes, this one -- we've focused on the Islanders' record against the Sabres last season, the roster changes they've made, and the times they're going to clash in 2025-26.
