Gary Bettman announces major changes regarding the New York Rangers upcoming game
The NHL has decided without reason to change the time for a game between the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers.
The game is scheduled to take place on December 11th, at 7:30 PM and Gary Bettman and the league have moved it back to 7 PM.
The game will be televised nationally which could be a reason why they needed to shift the time back, but there's been no confirmation.
Per SI Breakaway:
No reason was given for the change, but allow us to speculate. The NHL only has one other game scheduled for that night, with the Anaheim Ducks and Ottawa Senators set to face off at 7:30 p.m. ET.
With just two games on the schedule, the league likely wanted to stagger the start times a bit to get more eyes on both of them, and the Rangers' national fanbase likely made the decision a bit easier.
