A bit about the Wings on national TV from the Freep

The Free Press’s Kirkland Crawford discusses the Red Wings’ appearances on ESPN and TNT during the upcoming 2023-2024 season:

The 2023-24 NHL season is closer than you may think. Soon enough, the best hockey players in the world will grace your television screens.

And though the Detroit Red Wings haven’t made the playoffs in seven seasons, they still possess some national appeal. And the two national broadcasters aren’t hesitating to take advantage of it.

Both TNT and ESPN released their schedules for the season on Wednesday. In total, some 13 Red Wings games will be on center stage, starting with the season opener in New Jersey against the Devils, exclusively on ESPN+/Hulu. That game time has been moved from 7 p.m. to 7:30.

The following week, when the Wings are in Pittsburgh, that game will be on TNT at 7:30. The Wings will be a part of a TNT doubleheader on as they host the Rangers on Nov. 7. The same two teams will be back at Little Caesars Arena on Nov. 29 at 7:30, also on TNT.
