The NHL postponed Tuesday and Thursday's games between the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders because of the league's COVID-19 protocols.
The snowstorm that hit the East Coast postponed the Sabres' flight until game day, which altered COVID-19 testing and contact tracing and led to the postponement.
The Sabres played two games this past weekend against the New Jersey Devils, who were shut down through at least Saturday with 10 players on the league's COVID protocols list.
The NHL announced that the Buffalo Sabres have had their games been postponed through at least Feb. 8 as a result of two players entering the league's COVID-19 protocols.
The Islanders' next schedule game comes Saturday against the Penguins.
