Canadiens at Sabres for Home Opener

The Sabres report that their first regular season opponent will be the Montreal Canadiens on October 10th. Also mentioned are the three ‘at-large’ games, wherein Buffalo faces off against Detroit, Anaheim and Phoenix. And just to review:

This season, the NHL has revised its scheduling format. Each team will continue to play an 82-game schedule, but the breakdown of opponents has changed. Each team will play their divisional opponents six times (24 games in total), four games against each non-divisional conference opponent (40 games in total), one game against each of the 15 non-conference opponents and three ��at large�� games.

Rest of the sched tomorrow.
