How to watch Detroit Red Wings games this season

NHL broadcasts run through three primary lanes. National games air on ESPN, ESPN+, TNT, and Max under the league's media-rights deals. In-market games air on the team's regional sports network, distributed through cable and select streaming partners. ESPN+ serves as the catch-all for out-of-market viewers — every regular-season game outside your local TV market streams there.
