Tweet of note/THN: NHL will air 15 national broadcasts of Red Wings games

From the Red Wings on Twitter:

Per the Hockey News’s Connor Eargood:

ABC will broadcast the Red Wings four times on the network’s local channels in 2024-25, while two more games will be aired on the ESPN channels including March 1’s outdoor game against Columbus at Ohio Stadium. The ESPN networks are also streaming two games only on ESPN+: Oct. 17 vs. the New York Rangers and Dec. 3 at Boston.

TNT is picking up seven games. Two of those — March 12 vs. Buffalo and the season finale April 16 at New Jersey — will be blacked out to local viewers. That means that if Detroit’s potential playoff push comes down to the final game like it did in 2023-24, fans wouldn’t be able to watch the game if they don’t have TNT in their channel package.

A chronological schedule of nationally broadcasted games, channels and times can be found below:

Oct. 17 vs. New York Rangers — ESPN+, 7:30 p.m.
Nov. 6 at Chicago — TNT, 8 p.m.
