Sabres vs. Sharks: Game Thread – March 19, 2026 | NHL.com

Alex Lyon secured his ninth consecutive road win Thursday night as the Buffalo Sabres defeated the San Jose Sharks 6-3 at SAP Center, extending their franchise-record road point streak to 11 games. The Sabres have earned at least a point in each of those games, going 10-0-1 during the stretch, surpassing previous benchmarks set in the 1983-84 and 2006-07 seasons.

Buffalo’s offensive performance was highlighted by a multi-goal effort, contributing to an average of 4.27 goals per game on the road during their current streak, the best in the NHL. The victory propels the Sabres closer to the top of the conference standings, placing them two points behind Carolina for first place and four points ahead of Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division.

Alex Tuch returned to the Sabres’ top line after missing Tuesday’s game against Vegas due to illness. Lyon’s performance in net places him two wins shy of the NHL record for consecutive road wins, currently held by Evgeni Nabokov and Devan Dubnyk, with only three other goaltenders having reached the ten-win mark: Nabokov, Carey Price, and Kevin Lankinen.

The Sabres have won 10 of their 11 games since the Olympic break, demonstrating their ability to secure victories both at home and on the road. The game was broadcast on MSG in the Buffalo market, with streaming options available through the Gotham Sports App and ESPN+ for out-of-market viewers. Radio coverage was provided by WGR 550 and the Buffalo Sabres App.
