Summary
NHL playoff droughts are finally cracking open — Buffalo’s 14-year wait is over, leaving Detroit with the longest active streak since 2016.

The Sharks have draft capital and young stars like Celebrini, the Blackhawks hinge on Bedard’s long-term fit, and the Blue Jackets boast rising talent and a Norris-winning defenseman — all eyes on 2027-28 as the next Stanley Cup window opens.
