Friday's Lightning-Sabres game postponed due to incoming storm

Friday's game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Buffalo Sabres has been postponed due to a severe winter storm that's expected to impact western New York and surrounding areas, the league announced Wednesday.

The game will instead be played on March 4. Additionally, the Sabres' original home game for March 4 against the Philadelphia Flyers has been moved to Jan. 9.

Buffalo is supposed to get hit with rain, snow, heavy winds, and more in the coming days.

Good morning! Still sorting out a number of details on Western NY's holiday storm, which will likely have a high impact, and will be multifaceted. Here's a timeline of what I'm watching. #WNY #WX pic.twitter.com/sJlrSSmytt

Buffalo is no stranger to harsh winter conditions. In November, the city had a historic lake-effect storm that resulted in over 80 inches of snow and forced the NFL's Buffalo Bills to play a home game at Detroit's Ford Field.
