With the new rights deals in place, NHL.TV was taken over by ESPN+. The league now streams a majority of its games through ESPN+, taking a regional broadcast feed and making it available to watch in the U.S. through ESPN's streaming service.

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.

NHL Center Ice is an out-of-market sports package distributed by most cable and satellite providers in the United States and Canada. The package allows its subscribers to see up to forty out-of-market National Hockey League games a week using local and national television networks.

NHL Centre Ice does not include in-market games or the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

NHL Center Ice ($69.99 a season) is an add-on you can purchase through most cable and satellite TV providers. However, for $40.00 more a year, ESPN+ ($109.99 a year) has 50 exclusive games and many other live sports.

NHL Centre Ice games are subject to regional blackouts. The blackout remains intact as the local regional sports network has the rights to these games in your area. It's important to note that with regards to the NHL, blackouts are not based on arena sell-outs.

Usually, we would recommend signing up for Hulu + Live TV because it includes ESPN+ at no extra cost. But Hulu + Live TV doesn't carry NHL Network, and you can get complete national NHL coverage through Sling TV for around $20 cheaper.
