The extreme weather conditions in Buffalo postponed the Rangers-Sabres game that was scheduled for Friday night at the downtown First Niagara Center.

The Rangers practiced at 1 p.m. on Thursday at their Westchester facility, but were told by the league to hold their scheduled 3 p.m. flight until they got word on status of the game. Just after 3 p.m., the league announced the game was postponed, with no makeup date yet confirmed.

“There’s nothing the league can do,” coach Alain Vigneault said. “We can’t be frustrated with anybody. You have to do the right thing here.”

The game couldn’t be pushed back until Saturday, when the Sabres are supposed to be in Washington to take on the Capitals. This was the first of four matchups between the two teams this season, and the first of two in Buffalo. The Rangers’ next scheduled game in Buffalo is March 14.
