  • NBCSN: One to three regular-season games/week, All-Star Game, playoffs, Stanley Cup Finals (games 3, 4), through 2021.[25] NBC's playoffs and Stanley Cup Finals' coverage can be blacked out if a local channel is carrying coverage of the same games.

  • NHL Network: Wednesday, Friday and occasional Sunday games. Simulcasts of CBC/Rogers's Hockey Night in Canada (Saturday nights); the simulcast can be blacked out if a local channel is carrying coverage of the same game.
