@NikC and everyone else concerned about this...
If you log in to ESPN+ now, you'll see Thursday's game against Dallas and Saturday's game against Montreal in the upcoming NHL schedule. These are not ESPN+ exclusive, but rather part of the out-of-market package.
They also show 6:30 start times, but these are regular 7pm starts... I interpret that to mean we're getting the pre-game shows.

Last year I wasn't able to see national telecast games on NBCSN and any game when the Rangers played the Bruins, since I live in New England. Wasn't too bad. I expected that this year I'd be able to see those national games as well while remaining blacked out for Bruins games on ESPN+. Let's see how they treat this first TNT game.

Would you mind sending me what you’re seeing as the list? I’m curious what the other 11 are.

OK, so this is a simple explanation (and I believe someone else might have mentioned something along these lines already).
The 7 games on ESPN+ that aren't in October are national broadcasts. The 6 games that are in October are not. Those are part of the out-of-market package. Notice how the 7 national ESPN+ broadcasts also say either Hulu or ABC, but the October ESPN+ games do not.
They're releasing which games will be on ESPN+ on a monthly basis because the NHLN schedule gets released on a monthly basis. Any game on NHLN isn't going to be on ESPN+, which is the same way it was for NHL.tv until last year. The November schedule for NHLN isn't out yet, so the ESPN+ schedule for November isn't out yet either. Ditto December, January, etc. That will probably be the last week of October.
That link is further confirmation to me that the whole out-of-market package will be on ESPN+.

A spinning “buffer” icon for almost 30mins before I gave up. The workaround for us in Australia involves a Fetch box, and a Foxtel subscription then an ESPN subscription. To top it all off if you have it on a device such as iPhone or iPad it won’t let you cast it to your tv or even mirror your screen. Truly a retrograde step. Hope everyone else is having a better experience….

Fubo, Sling, DirecTV Stream all carry it. Not cheap. Sling is the cheapest. I think $45/mo because you have to get the sports add on

Just realised f...ing Sky Sports in Germany/Austria/etc. is showing over 300 games, playoffs and finals... damn. Not paying for another subscription service.
They're showing the Leafs - Canadiens game on Sky Sports ... tested on nhl.tv to see if I can stream it... "You do not have access to view this content. To watch live games and learn more about blackout restrictions, please visit NHL.TV."
Time to start looking for a "solution"... bastards.

Yeah I just learned this the hard way when I went to view the game just now on the android app.... Tried to search for the game and wasn't seeing it, then I scrolled down the list of available games and saw 'NYR/WSH' and started viewing with a sigh of relief - then Sam & Joe came on and started talking about Quinn and 4 games left in the season. Son of a b----
________________________________
Does anyone know if these games will be viewable/accessible on ESPN+ maybe 48 hours after they've aired? Who would benefit from withholding the streams from later being viewed if the NHL isn't going to host its own streaming service anymore? Apologies if this has already been discussed...

I believe 48 hours is how it will be, which is how it was with NBCSN. OTOH, this is the first time this is being hosted within a branded competitor to another broadcaster, so maybe not? We'll see. Also, the branding was NHL on the old service, but the people hosting it are the same people who host ESPN+. That's Disney Streaming Services.
People need to keep themselves informed on national broadcasts. We've known for weeks now that the game tonight wasn't going to be on ESPN+. There are two games this month on NHLN that won't be on ESPN+.
Apologies if this has been covered - just found out that xfinity and msg are in a dispute so they aren't carrying msg right now. Any idea where else I can watch the games (via stream or otherwise) if I am in-market?

Fubo has MSG, I believe. I'm not in market but it's been discussed here.

I was able to watch the CAPS game " On Demand " and was hoping i would be able to watch the Stars game as well but now I'm getting black out restriction even when the game are over and put on demand. I am very annoyed by that.
I could understand live but why not after the game like a day later

Just use any VPN that has servers in Switzerland or Portugal and it works perfectly.
