NBCSN is where the NHL has a contract (that expires THIS SUMMER). The deal with NBCSNCA goes for a bunch more years.
It's been rumored that ESPN wants to get back into showing some games. CBS and Fox also might, want some games. NBC may still participate, but show games on other channels (MSNBC, CNBC, USA among other cable channels).
NHL wants some OTA games through the season, and especially the playoffs. With the NBC deal, ALL playoff games are available nationally (with some games in the first round not exclusive, so the regional carriers could carry them).
Follow along in the BOH forum for the latest news.

worst team in the league

Winning wins that trade IMO, Laine is not a good player outside of his shot and he and Tortorella will be like oil and water
Dubois is a stud, the Jets just got better

Lol laine puts up nearly the same amount of goals in a season as dubois does points.
A stud that is a 40 point player, i guess 40 year old thornton is still a stud.

I was one of a handful of people who liked PLD more than Laine before the draft and was my favorite player on the Jackets.
Oh well, I do believe the team got better a little bit.

He's also one of the worst defensive players in the league and doesn't provide any value of he isn't scoring goals
Patrick Laine is the elite version of Brandon Pirri
Dubois is a 22 year old 1C who was the best forward on a team that upset a much more talented Toronto team in the play in, he's basically a young Hertl who us willing to play dirty, he's only scratching the surface of his potential
If he was the best player vs the leafs last year then they are very lucky they made it out of the round considering he did nothing in 4 of the 5 games.

He wasn't their best player, that was either Jones or Korpisalo, but he was by far the best forward on a team lacking in forward depth that plays a very conservative style which stifles what little offensive talent they have
Even if you think he did "nothing" in the other games, he did score a hat trick in a 3 goal comeback win, including the tying goal and the OT winner, in a series that went the distance, so he was still literally a difference maker that swung the series, but I don't know how anyone who actually watched that series could say he did "nothing" in the other games just because he wasn't putting up points, he was incredible

VGK's next game is vs Sharks (in Arizona).
One player got put on LTIR yesterday. At least one coach tested positive (and entire staff stayed out of game Tuesday).
Status on games vs Sharks will be decided in 1-2 days (so by Saturday).

Thankfully it is like 7 days from the start to the game vs sharks. Lots of time to catch it all before it affects another game.

New procedures include removal of glass behind benches, air purifier on benches. Expanded locker room space to have 6' between stalls. And arrivals before game not more than one hour, 45 minutes for all. All game day meetings virtual.
Hmmm

I said that about the MLB season, but they have a lot of incentive to just plow through.
