The Buffalo Bills' matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers was rescheduled to Monday afternoon, leading to a strategic reshuffling by the NHL.
Faced with the challenge of overlapping schedules, the Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins' games were also affected. To mitigate potential attendance and viewership loss, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and league executives made the decision to reschedule these games to times that don't conflict with the NFL's revised schedule.
This strategic move aims to provide a seamless transition for fans, offering a hockey appetizer leading up to the NFL Playoff showdown.
The hope is that these adjustments will enhance the overall sports viewing experience, with anticipation building for three consecutive games that promise to meet heightened expectations.
