NHL Postpones Tuesday’s Game Between The Buffalo Sabres And Columbus Blue Jackets

December 26, 2022 at 3:08 pm CDT | by John Gilroy 5 Comments

4:15 pm: The NHL, as well as Columbus and Buffalo, have since confirmed the postponement, adding that a makeup date will be set at some point, though they don’t have one right now.

3:08 pm: It appears yet another game will be postponed due to this past week’s winter weather in the upstate New York and Ontario area. According to the Columbus Dispatch’s Brian Hedger, tomorrow’s game featuring the Buffalo Sabres and Columbus Blue Jackets is expected to be postponed. Neither team nor the NHL has confirmed the postponement yet and no makeup date is known.

This postponement comes on the heels of two additional games that were rescheduled from Friday. Both the Tampa Bay Lightning and Ottawa Senators, in Ottawa, and the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres, in Buffalo, had to be postponed. Buffalo, who hasn’t played since last Monday, December 18th, will now have to make-up two games.

Although tomorrow’s game was supposed to be in Columbus, the reason for the postponement appears to be the Sabres’ inability to get to Columbus. At this point in time, many roads in the Buffalo area are closed to traffic, and the airport itself will remain closed through tomorrow. The Sabres had been due to fly out of Buffalo tomorrow morning for that evening’s game. Interestingly, the same-day travel had nothing to do with the weather in Buffalo, but instead the league’s restriction on practice and travel today.

Looking ahead, the Sabres are scheduled to host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday before hitting the road and heading to Boston on Saturday. Thus far, there’s been no word on the status of either of those games.

    This looks like another multi game switcharoo. I can’t find a time the rest of the season where both teams have multiple day breaks. Same All Star break slot but Columbus has a b2b right after.

      They may have to tack the game onto the end of the schedule.

      Which would then force Buffalo to play 4 in 5 nights or 5 in 7 nights.

    Sports takes a backseat to the horrors these people have been facing and it’s not over yet.

      Too right. Even for Buffalo, that’s a ghastly storm.
