Some rescheduling moved a game in Buffalo against the Sabres up from early March to Monday night.

It will be welcome for the Flyers, who get to play again after getting dominated by the Maple Leafs. The Sabres have been an upstart team that is making a name for itself in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Game time is 7 PM.
