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 New York Islanders games are on MSG/MSG+ across New York tri-state, which Fubo carries in that market. ESPN+ serves as the catch-all for out-of-market viewers — every regular-season game outside your local TV market streams there.
