The Buffalo Sabres are just two points away from clinching a playoff spot this season. They are currently in 1st place in the Atlantic Division and tied for 1st place with the Carolina Hurricanes for 1st place in the Eastern Conference.

The Sabres have 100 points with 7 regular-season games left. Oddsmakers have the Sabres' chances of making the playoffs at 99.99%.

The Sabres are currently tied with the New York Jets for the longest playoff drought in North American Pro Sports. The good news is that the Sabres' magic number to make the playoffs is just two points, so they should be able to get at least one win in the next seven games if they don't clinch tonight.

Let's hope they clinch tonight and secure their postseason in 14 seasons.
