The 2024–25 Buffalo Sabres season was the 55th season of play for the Sabres in the National Hockey League (NHL). It was the team's first season with Lindy Ruff back as head coach since 2013.
The Sabres suffered a 13-game winless streak in late November and early December that dropped them to last place in the Eastern Conference for much of the season. Despite this, the Sabres gained a hot streak towards the end of March and early April that kept their faint playoff hopes alive in a tight conference, but it was ultimately in vain as they were finally eliminated on April 8, 2025, when the Montreal Canadiens beat the Detroit Red Wings. As a result, Buffalo missed the postseason for the 14th consecutive season, continuing the longest playoff drought in NHL history.
