BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres Pride Night is being held on Thursday at the game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Pride Night will take place at the KeyBank Center starting a 7 p.m.

The game will feature commemorative warm-up jerseys and activations throughout the event to "celebrate love and acceptance in our game." Also the first 5,000 fans in attendance will be given a pride rally towel.

In addition, a raffle will be held by the Sabres and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Niagara Pride.

Discounted tickets to the game are available here.

This is the second Pride Game the team has helped host this season. The Sabres co-hosted a Pride Game with the Penguins at PPG Paints Arena in November.

"The inspiration behind this collaboration is to help support the LGBTQ+ community in both cities and to continue our efforts to make hockey a sport that welcomes all who wish to be a part of our game," said Rich Jureller, Sabres vice president of community relations when the game announcement was made in November.
