BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Sabres have had another game postponed amid an NHL-wide COVID outbreak.
The league postponed the majority of their games over the past week with a plan to return December 27.
The Sabres were initially set to play at KeyBank Center Monday against the New York Islanders, but the NHL announced Friday their regular season schedule will not resume prior to Tuesday, December 28.
The decision comes during a time where more than 15% of the league's 700-plus players are in COVID protocol.
The Sabres announced Wednesday three of their own players entered the virus protocol, forwards Jeff Skinner, Zemgus Girgensons and Vinnie Hinostroza.
Currently, Buffalo's next scheduled game is Wednesday, December 29 at home against the New Jersey Devils.
A total of 64 NHL games have now been postponed this season.
