NHL Center Ice Features
This sport package lets you follow your favorite NHL teams and players from outside your local area, including the best Canadian match-ups. You'll get up to 40 regular-season games per week with your NHL Center Ice subscription. Plus, you will be able to see select first- and second-round Stanley Cup playoff games. Blackout restrictions apply to all games that are on NHL Center Ice. Blackout restrictions are designed to protect the television rights holders in the competing teams' respective home markets. Blackouts are not based on arena sellouts. Local Broadcast Blackout (Example)
If the St. Louis Blues are playing the New York Rangers, the local telecast areas of the Blues and Rangers will be blacked out on NHL Center Ice, regardless of whether the teams are televising locally. If the teams are televising locally, NHL Center Ice subscribers can view the game on their over-the-air television station or their local regional sports network (RSN) if DirecTV carries the local telecaster.
