A simulcast of Sportsnet’s Hockey Central will begin the coverage at 10 a.m. ET, followed by a seven-hour trade deadline edition of NHL Tonight™ at 2 p.m. ET.

March’s NHL Network Showcase presented by SAP game telecasts includes the final showcase matchup of the season on Saturday, March 30 when the Red Wings take on the Florida Panthers. NHL Network play-by-play broadcaster E.J. Hradek said, “We’ve had a great slate of games all season and with the tight races heating up in the final weeks of the regular season, these four games will have a playoff feel.”
