BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres announced Monday that the start time for the January 4 game against the Florida Panthers will be moved to 1 p.m.
They're moving it so fans can cheer on the Buffalo Bills when they take on the Houston Texans in the NFL wild card game, which is scheduled to start at 4:35 p.m.
"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 Sabres Co-Owner and President Kim Pegula said. "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."
The game will be televised on MSG, but radio listeners will have to tune into WBEN 930 AM instead of WGR 550 AM due to Bills programming.
