On Tuesday, the NHL and ESPN will be partnering together to broadcast a historic 16-game night with all 32 teams in action.
The night will begin at 5:00 PM ET with a special hour-long edition of The Point on ESPN2. Steve Levy, Mark Messier, P.K. Subban, John Buccigross, and Kevin Weekes will all make appearances on the show to cover the upcoming 16-game night, along with a special preview of ESPN’s Frozen Frenzy broadcast.
At 6:00 PM ET, ESPN will be broadcasting their first game of Tuesday’s tripleheader with the Maple Leafs vs Capitals. Mike Monaco, AJ Mleczko, and Leah Hextall will all be on the call for that one.
The second game of ESPN’s tripleheader will begin at 8:30 PM ET with the Bruins vs Blackhawks. On the call in Chicago will be Sean McDonough, with his second appearance of the season, along with Ray Ferraro and Emily Kaplan.
To close ESPN’s Tuesday tripleheader, the Flyers vs Golden Knights will be dropping the puck at 11:00 PM ET with Bob Wischusen and Ryan Callahan on the call from Vegas.
Meanwhile, beginning at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+ will be ESPN’s live whip-around show, Frozen Frenzy, with John Buccigross and Kevin Weekes. The show will be aired on ESPN+ for an hour, and then they’ll transition to ESPN2 (along with ESPN+) from 8:00 PM ET to 1:30 AM ET. For the broadcast, there will be no script or pre-planned segments from ESPN. The six-and-a-half-hour show will simply provide action and commentary from around the league for Tuesday’s historic night. There will also be limited commercials throughout the broadcast, and as Buccigross stated earlier on Twitter/X, viewers can expect lots of chicken parm as well!
In addition to ESPN’s coverage, the rest of the 13 games on Tuesday will be available to watch in full through the NHL Power Play on ESPN+.
Enjoy this amazing night that the NHL and ESPN have lined up for us fans, and be sure to have lots of television screens ready to go, everyone!
