Back in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, the Sabres can close out their first-round series against the Bruins with a win Tuesday.

After a four-goal performance in Game 2, Boston scored just two combined goals in Games 3 and 4. Alex Lyon has been solid between the pipes for Buffalo, totaling 47 saves in the Sabres' two road wins as his teammates racked up nine goals.

Now, with their backs against the wall, the Bruins are hoping to become the first team since 2023 to climb out of a 3-1 hole and win a playoff series. The last team to accomplish that feat? Florida overcame that deficit to knock Boston out of the postseason three years ago.
