Per Arthur Staple, the plans are being finalized for the Rangers to host the Sabres in the 2018 Winter Classic, to be held at Citi Field. This will be the first time the Rangers are in the Winter Classic since 2012, when they beat the Flyers in Philadelphia. The Rangers also had a pair of outdoor games at Yankee Stadium in 2014.

This is the first time the Winter Classic has been held in New York, as the Stadium Series games were technically not the Winter Classic. The initial rumor was that the Rangers would host a Winter Classic at West Point, but it appears that Citi Field will be the venue.

For Buffalo, this is their first time since the very first Winter Classic in 2008, when they lost to the Penguins.
