NHL Network, the TV home for the National Hockey League,

Sling Blue subscription. Today’s launch on Sling TV marks the first

“With hockey season already in full-swing, diehard fans are
donning their jerseys and Sling TV makes it easy and affordable to
watch NHL Network wherever they are, so they don’t miss a single
slap shot,” said Roger Lynch, CEO of Sling TV. “As the premier
streaming destination for sports, we continue to offer fans
nationwide the games they can’t live without, whether they love
soccer, college football, pro football, MLB playoffs, the NCAA
basketball tournament and now NHL hockey.”
NHL Network provides live games and special on-site coverage of
NHL events, signature studio shows, interviews, highlights and
expert analysis from a variety of hockey insiders and former
players. Additional programming includes behind-the-scenes
features, player profiles and international and amateur hockey
competitions.
The Network will offer more than 75 matchups to Sling TV
customers, including New York Rangers v. Washington Capitals (Oct.
22), the Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic™ between the
Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers (Oct. 23), Pittsburgh Penguins v.
Philadelphia Flyers (Oct. 29), and Los Angeles Kings v. Chicago
Blackhawks (Oct. 30). NHL Network also brings its live weekday
studio programming, including the fast-paced “NHL Now” at 4:00 p.m.
ET, the prime time flagship show “NHL Tonight” at 6:00 p.m. ET, and
the nightly highlights show “On The Fly.” As with NHL Network
telecasts, games watched via Sling TV will be subject to local
blackouts depending on the user’s location.
In addition to NHL Network, hockey fans can find NHL matchups on
Sling TV via NBC Sports, NBC (select markets) and Fox Sports
Regional Networks (select markets). For a complete schedule and
