According to several media reports including USA Today and Centre Daily Times, the Buffalo Sabres will face Minnesota Wild at Penn State’s Pegula Ice Arena. 

The Sabres say they wanted to bring an NHL preseason game to downtown Rochester for the first time in more than a decade, but an antiquated arena with inadequate facilities prompted them to take the game to Penn State University.

Instead of a Sept. 26 exhibition game between the Sabres and Minnesota Wild at Blue Cross Arena at the Community War Memorial, the teams will play at Pegula Ice Arena in State College.

An official release is expected tomorrow.
