On the NHL slate tonight is a match between the Buffalo Sabres and the Chicago Blackhawks. It begins in an hour, at 7:30 p.m. ET, and takes place at the Keybank Center in Buffalo New York. For locals, the game will be broadcast on MSG, but everyone else will have to tune in a different way to watch live. If you’re wondering how to watch the Sabres vs Blackhawks live stream, possibly even for free, we have all the details for you. It’s going to be an exciting match and you won’t want to miss it.
Since the Panthers vs Red Wings game is being broadcast on MSG on local networks, that limits where you’ll be able to tune in outside the area. You could use MSG+ which is the network’s streaming service, but we recommend using another platform. Instead, we find it’s better to watch live sports like tonight’s game on FuboTV, now just called Fubo after rebranding.
With Fubo you can watch live cable TV channels online and from a variety of compatible devices like mobile, but also, you can watch a ton of live sports events. Depending on where you live, and the subscription tier you choose, you’ll get access to over 180 channels. The Pro plan is $80 per month for 184 channels, 1,000 hours of Cloud DVR storage so you can record live TV and watch later, and you can stream on up to 10 screens at once.
There is a neat loophole you can use to watch the Sabres vs Blackhawks live stream for free. Fubo has a free trial so you can watch for an entire week and you won’t have to pay a dime. During your free trial, you can watch any live sports that are broadcast like the Sabres vs Blackhawks game. Some other notable channels you can watch are FX, ESPN, TLC, NFL Network, FOX, Bally Sports, MSNBC, and more. Be sure to sign up before the NHL match starts, though. You have to install the Fubo app where you want to watch. You’ll miss some of the action if that’s not done before the start of the game at 7:30 PM EST tonight.
When you’re outside of the country, traveling abroad, you won’t be able to access content on your favorite streaming services, sometimes including entire libraries. The big names like Netflix, ESPN, and Disney geo-restrict or block access based on your current IP. Since your IP is assigned based on your current location, they know you’re in a different country. However, you can bypass region locks with a VPN or virtual private network. A VPN assigns you a remote IP when you connect so it looks like you’re logging in from your home country. Our top pick for this is NordVPN.
There is a free trial for NordVPN so you can give it a try for up to a month, or, you can capitalize on their fantastic discounts. The middle-tier Plus plan is 52% off at $4.99 per month or $120 for the first two years, instead of its $254 standard price. That includes the VPN software, malware protection, trackers and ad blockers, a cross-platform password manager, and a data breach scanner. It’s best to sign up and set it all up before tonight’s big game so you can watch with no interruptions.
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
