While not much has changed on the radio side of things, as Sportsnet 590 The FAN and TSN 1050 will split the air waves, the television broadcast schedule includes six games that are solely being broadcasted nationally on Amazon Prime Video. This is the first season NHL games will be broadcasted to the popular streaming service.
While Prime dip their toes into the NHL world, you’ll also be able to see 36 regular season games featured nationally on Sportsnet, while Sportsnet Ontario will be the home for 14 games. TSN will broadcast 26 games, with the two major media companies split the club’s regional broadcasts. TSN and Sportsnet will have rotating broadcast panels, meanwhile expect to hear fan favourites Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph as the team’s radio commentators, as both will be back for this season.
