In case you haven’t heard, the Buffalo Sabres are scheduled to grace national television nine times in 2024-25, starting with a pair of manageable matchups against the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 16th and vs. the St. Louis Blues on November 14th.
Things won’t be as easy during their next two games, one of which takes place on December 11th vs. the New York Rangers and the next one before the Christmas break on the 20th, when the Toronto Maple Leafs and half their fanbase come to town.
Buffalo will play on national television one more time in the 2024 calendar year in what could be a deceptive matchup as it will come vs. what should be an upstart Chicago Blackhawks team. They’ll find themselves on national TV four times between January and March 2025, with the first occurring on January 15th vs. the mighty Carolina Hurricanes.
