The final home game is scheduled for April 4th vs. Ottawa. Buffalo will hit the road for two more after that to take on the Lightning and Panthers, respectively.

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
