Buffalo Sabres fans got another glimpse at what the NHL’s temporary division re-alignment could look like for the upcoming season, which will reportedly begin in mid-January.
TSN’s Pierre LeBrun Tweeted out the re-alignment, with a couple caveats: nothing is absolutely confirmed, it’s all still subject to change, and the Board of Governors and NHLPA still have to vote to approve the new format.
Not finalized yet, and still subject to change, but the 2020-21 four-division re-alignment currently looks like this according to sources:
Bos-Buf-NJ-NYI-NYR-Pha-Pgh-Was

Ana-Ari-Col-Dal-LA-SJ-STL-VGK
All-Canadian teams— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) December 9, 2020The Sabres’ potential division is certainly interesting, and not necessarily in a great way for Buffalo, who is joined by some of the league’s tough contenders including Washington, Pittsburgh and the Rangers.
