Before the Buffalo Sabres hit the ice for the first game of the 2022-23 season, fans will be able to greet the team during a special Party in the Plaza.
Starting at 4 p.m. on Thursday, October 13, Buffalo's opening night lineup will arrive in cars provided by Northtown Auto and walk a Blue & Gold Carpet on their way into KeyBank Center.
Fans can enjoy music from The Strictly Hip, hockey activations and photo opportunities, and meet Sabres alumni. There will also be activities for kids in Alumni Plaza.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the first 12,000 fans attending the game will receive a City of Buffalo-themed Sabres flag.
Faceoff against the Ottawa Senators is set for 7 p.m. Tickets for the game are on sale now starting at $27.
