NBC Sports' 2018-19 NHL schedule is highlighted by the debut of "Wednesday Night Hockey" on NBCSN, which will showcase the network's most diverse schedule since it acquired NHL rights prior to the 2005-06 season, as well as NHL's current and rising stars. Highlights of NBC Sports' "Wednesday Night Hockey" schedule on NBCSN include:
"With the impressive growth of fan interest in non-traditional NHL markets combined with the emergence of a number of risingstars, we felt the time was right to broaden our Wednesday night schedule and evolve the brand," saidSam Flood, Executive Producer & President, Production, NBC Sports and NBCSN. "Fans will still see plenty of games between traditional powers, but our new approach to Wednesday nights - including a record number of doubleheaders - allows us to show more rising stars and more Western Conference and Canadian teams than ever before."
