What happened: Carolina, Columbus, Minnesota and St. Louis are among the clubs moving local broadcasts to Prime Video under a multiyear agreement announced Wednesday. The platform will carry games in each participating team's local market.

Why it matters: The arrangement expands Amazon's NHL portfolio after its Canadian Wednesday-night national package. It also follows Prime Video's 12-year Canadian NHL rights deal.

What to watch: Local-market availability and broadcast details will take shape before the 2026-27 season.
