Hughes, Tkachuk brothers featured in premiere of #HockeyAtHome

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes and his brother, Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes, are back at the family home together while the NHL is on pause due to concerns about the coronavirus. And whether they're shooting hockey pucks, playing basketball or squaring off at the ping-pong table, the brothers are keeping busy.

The Hughes family is one of several features in the NHL's new series called #HockeyAtHome. The show will have interviews of current and former NHL players from their abodes. The first episode, co-hosted by Kathryn Tappen of NBC Sports Network and David Amber of Sportsnet from their respective homes, is a series of interviews of brothers who are currently playing in the NHL.
Featured guests include the Hughes brothers engaged in a little friendly competition; defenseman Marc Staal of the New York Rangers, forward Jordan Staal of the Carolina Hurricanes and forward Eric Staal of the Minnesota Wild separating the truth from the lies; and former NHL forward Keith Tkachuk and his wife Chantal choosing between their sons, Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk and Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk.

An upcoming episode of #HockeyatHome will feature Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin and Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky being interviewed by tennis champion and hockey fan John McEnroe.
#HockeyAtHome will be broadcast as part of NBC Sports' Hockey Happy Hour at 6:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday; it will also be on NHL Network at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday and on Sportsnet at 6:30 p.m. ET on Friday. The show will be available at 6:30 on YouTube, NHL.com, Facebook and Instagram TV.
