What happened: The package begins Sept. 30 with at least 26 national regular-season games in English and French. Prime subscribers in Canada will receive the broadcasts at no extra charge.

Why it matters: The sublicensing deal shifts another national hockey window to streaming while Sportsnet retains most games. It also expands Prime Video's Canadian NHL presence after two seasons of Monday-night coverage.

By the numbers: Rogers' broader Canadian rights agreement is worth C$11 billion and runs through 2037-38. Prime Video will receive the fourth and fifth selections among first-round series and the third selection in the second round.

What to watch: The full Wednesday schedule and team assignments will define the package's opening-season reach.
