The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team will partner with Tops Friendly Markets and Audacy for a Thanksgiving turkey drive on Wednesday, Nov. 20 to benefit the Buffalo City Mission and FeedMore WNY.

A maximum of one voucher, which is good for two tickets, will be allotted per person. Fans can redeem their vouchers for select Sabres home games online using a promo code. Participants will have the option to purchase additional seats at the time of redemption.
