What happened: The multiyear agreement starts with the 2026-27 season. The Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues are among the clubs included.
Why it matters: The NHL had already taken over production for local broadcasts involving the Hurricanes, Blue Jackets, Wild and Blues. The deal moves their in-market distribution to a single streaming platform.
By the numbers: The Blues are scheduled for 73 local television games this season, with 11 games assigned to national exclusive broadcast partners.
What to watch: Local-market viewing details and game availability will take shape before the season begins.
