Amazon Prime Video unveils 27-game ‘Wednesday Night Hockey’ schedule
The 27-game package starts Sept. 30 and includes two first-round and one second-round Stanley Cup playoff series each season, Rogers said.
Amazon Prime Video unveiled its inaugural 27-game 'Wednesday Night Hockey' schedule on Thursday, with the season beginning Sept. 30 featuring the Toronto Maple Leafs hosting the New York Islanders.
The 12-year sub-licensing agreement with Rogers grants the streaming service rights to two first-round and one second-round Stanley Cup playoff series annually.
Games will stream in English and French to Prime subscribers in Canada at no additional cost, with Montreal leading Canadian clubs with seven appearances, followed by Toronto and the Oilers.
Marquee matchups include Florida Panthers captain Brady Tkachuk's return to Ottawa on Oct. 21 and a rivalry between the Oilers and Flames scheduled for a week later.
Calgary, Winnipeg, and Ottawa each appear four times on the national broadcast slate, while Vancouver is featured twice, completing the distribution for the platform's inaugural hockey season.
