Fans can enjoy live music, kid's activities, and photo opportunities with Sabres alumni, as well as line up to cheer the players on as they arrive for the game and walk the blue and gold carpet on their way into KeyBank Center.
If any of you plan on attending, but need to an excuse to get out of work or school early, the Sabres have a note you can fill out on social media.
Puck drop against the Senators is at 7 p.m., and the first 12,000 fans in the door will receive a City of Buffalo flag.
Delaware North will also be serving up new menu items for fans this year, including a porchetta sandwich, which can be found at the Perry Market, as well as fish tacos, baja fish tacos, spicy cheese dogs, and mustard pulled pork sandwiches.
