Interestingly, the 8th best win percentage in the East is .560. That is a sub-92 point pace.
To get to 92 points, the Sabres need 36 points in their last 25 games. So 18-7 or equivalent.
So it's not strictly impossible. They play the Lightning 2X, Red Wings 3X, Capitals 2X, so in some ways they control their fate.
But the schedule looks very hard in general. Not many teams below them in the standings to feast on like we have been for our last 15 games. In fact of our last 25 games, only team below us we play is Ottawa. 1/25.
