Buffalo Sabres reschedule Saturday's matchup to accommodate Buffalo Bills playoff game

The Buffalo Sabres on Monday announced the start time for the team’s game against the Florida Panthers this Saturday, Jan. 4, at KeyBank Center has been changed from 7 p.m. to 1 p.m. The game will be televised on MSG and can be heard on WBEN 930 AM instead of WGR 550 AM, due to Buffalo Bills programming.

The team will celebrate “ ’90s Night,” presented by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, on Saturday afternoon, welcoming back more than 20 Sabres alumni from the decade.

Buffalo Sabres co-owner and President Kim Pegula said, “We are happy to announce this start time change so that all of our fans can enjoy the Buffalo Bills playoff game on Jan. 4 after our Sabres game. Buffalo has a great tradition of all of our teams and fans supporting each other, and we want to make sure we can accommodate everyone the best way possible. We would like to thank the Florida Panthers organization for their understanding and willingness to change the start time.”
