Gary Bettman and the NHL has made eight different changes to the upcoming schedule which will result in more games being shown on Disney-owned properties.
NHL Makes Some Schedule Changes
It was recently announced that the NHL will be showing eight different games exclusively on ESPN/ABC.
The three games that are now going to be nationally televised on ABC are the Kings vs. Bruins, Rangers vs. Flyers, and Hurricanes vs. Devils.
These games all have large stakes for the playoffs later on as they all look to be playoff teams and 2/3 of the games are going to be Metropolitan division rivalry games.
These national moves mean that ABC will be broadcasting a lot more hockey which is a great thing for the league and the exposure of the game.
