BUFFALO, N.Y. — In a sign that Sabres hockey will likely not be played in Buffalo again during the 2019-20 season, the organization sent an email to season ticket holders on Monday, notifying them of their options.
The team is offering credit and perks on the six remaining home games this season to be used as payment toward tickets for the 2020-21 season.

So far, all reported options for resumption include playing games in centralized locations without fans in attendance.
The team is now also giving fans the option of being refunded for the six remaining home games on the Sabres schedule.
