How to Stream the 2025 NHL Playoffs
During the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, most games will be available locally on your Regional Sports Network like Bally SPorts Sun (Tampa Bay Lightning), Altitude (Colorado Avalanche), AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Penguins), and NESN (Boston Bruins).
In addition to local telecasts, games will air nationally on ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, and TBS.
Stanley Cup Playoff games that air on ABC will be exclusive, while games that air nationally on other channels like ESPN and TNT will be available nationally without local blackouts. That means you can choose to watch on your RSN or the national telecast.
