Bruins-Sabres series to begin on Sunday
No time yet, but that will come…in time.
BUFFALO, NEW YORK - MARCH 25: Linesman James Tobias #61 drops the puck for a face-off between Jason Zucker #17 of the Buffalo Sabres and Pavel Zacha #18 of the Boston Bruins during an NHL game on March 25, 2026 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York.

Sunday afternoon?
Maybe. Sunday evening? Could be!
Sunday night? Anything is possible. But hey, at least we know: Sunday.
The league didn’t announce any broadcast information along with that date, so their news release was about as little help as it could possibly be, but it’s something. If you follow the usual cadence for these series, we’d probably be looking at something like Sunday-Tuesday-Friday-Sunday, but there are occasionally extra days in between some of these games depending on availability. The Celtics already have home playoff games scheduled for TD Garden on Sunday, Tuesday, and (if necessary) Tuesday, April 28, and Sunday, May 2.
