Sabres' win over Caps a reminder of what they could have accomplished this season

On March 30, 2025, the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Washington Capitals with a score of 8-5 in a game played in Washington.
The Capitals, despite leading the Eastern Conference and being the first team to book a Stanley Cup playoff berth, have now lost three straight games for the second time this season.
Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch each scored twice for the Sabres, while Jack Quinn, Ryan McLeod, Sam Lafferty, and Peyton Krebs each added a goal.
Alex Ovechkin scored his 890th career goal, deflecting a shot from Rasmus Sandin, and is now just five goals away from Wayne Gretzky's all-time record, despite missing 16 games earlier in the season due to a broken leg.
James Reimer's strong performance in goal, stopping 24 of 29 shots, extended his winning streak to four games, while Jack Quinn's goal, capitalizing on a turnover, proved to be the game-winning goal as the Sabres have now won four of their last five games.
