NHL Center Ice games are broadcast on Ch. 769, you can see it in HD (if available) on Ch. 769-1. Most games on NHL CENTER ICE are available in HD. The actual number of games varies due to blackout restrictions and whether they are available to DIRECTV in HD.

One weird word of warning: NHL Center Ice is available as an add-on for a regular DirecTV satellite subscription but not as an add-on to DirecTV Stream.

Two out-of-market options exist for NHL fans: ESPN+ and NHL Center Ice. Both allow you to watch over 1,000 out-of-market games, which don't air on local or national TV. NHL Center Ice ($69.99 a season) is an add-on you can purchase through most cable and satellite TV providers.

NHL Center Ice requires a cable or satellite TV provider, while ESPN+ is available as a standalone streaming subscription. However, you can also bundle ESPN+ with Disney+ and Hulu. Apart from the service type, you'll still get around 40 out-of-market NHL games each week, no matter if you choose NHL Center Ice or ESPN+.

The NHL Network is not included in many basic streaming services or cable packages and is not available at all on Hulu Plus Live TV and YouTube TV.

Some games won't be in your market. Due to local and national coverage licensing, you won't be able to see all of your team's games - unless you get NHL Center Ice to round out your TV package coverage.
