The decision was made after both Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz and Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown recommended the game should be moved due to a serious winter storm hitting Western New York.
Original tickets for the game can be used for Thursday's puck drop. For further ticketing questions the team asks to reach out to an account service representative at account.services@sabres.com.
Thursday's game is the fifth game of a six-game homestand for the Sabres that wraps up on Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
