On Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres were officially eliminated from post-season contention. Buffalo has not made the playoffs since 2011, which was the same season the Vancouver Canucks went to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Fourteen years later, only one player from that roster remains active in the NHL, with that being Vancouver Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers.

The 2010-11 season was Myers' second in the NHL. A year after winning the Calder Trophy, Myers recorded 37 points in 80 games, helping the Sabres to a third-place finish in the Northeast division. Buffalo would eventually be eliminated in seven games by the Philadelphia Flyers, with Myers also being the last player to record a multi-point effort for the Sabres in the playoffs.

Buffalo's lineup from April 26, 2011, also features other players who have suited up for Vancouver. The list includes Ryan Miller, Derek Roy, Thomas Vanek, Mark Mancari, and Marc-André Gragnani. Of note, Jhonas Enroth, who played in that game, is still active but is currently playing the SHL with Örebro HK.
