This will be the first time that ESPN broadcasts the Stanley Cup playoffs since [[2004 Stanley Cup playoffs|2004]], while this is Turner's first national NHL contract. The structure of the new contracts is similar to the two's existing broadcast deals with the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] but with a few differences. During the first two rounds, games will be split by [[ESPN]], [[ESPN2]], [[ESPN on ABC|ABC]], [[TNT (American TV network)|TNT]] and [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] (TBS is only used as an overflow feed for TNT during the NBA playoffs). With both leagues holding their postseasons at the same time, it is expected that ESPN Networks will air Stanley Cup playoff games on nights when Turner airs NBA playoff games, and vice versa. Regional sports networks affiliated with each participating U.S. team may continue to also produce local telecasts of first round games, except for games televised over-the-air on ABC. ESPN/ABC has the first choice of which NHL Conference Finals series to air exclusively, and TNT will then have exclusive coverage of the other NHL Conference Finals series (as oppose to ESPN and TNT alternating the East and West NBA Conference Finals each year). Coverage of the Stanley Cup Finals will alternate annually, with ABC airing the series this year in 2022 (unlike the NBA contract, where the [[NBA Finals]] are exclusive to ABC).<ref>{{cite news|date=April 27, 2021|title=NHL moving to Turner Sports is $1 billion risk-reward for hockey|website=CNBC.com|publisher=CNBC LLC|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/27/turner-sports-nhl-announce-seven-year-deal-for-broadcast-rights.html|last=Young|first=Jabari|accessdate=April 7, 2022}}</ref> In Canada, for the eighth postseason under [[Rogers Media]]'s current 12-year contract, coverage will be broadcast by [[NHL on Sportsnet|Sportsnet networks]] and [[CBC Television]] under the ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]'' brand, and streamed on Sportsnet Now, CBCSports.ca (for games televised by CBC), or the subscription service Rogers NHL Live. ==References== {{reflist|2}} ==External links== * [https://www.nhl.com/stanley-cup-playoffs/2022 Stanley Cup playoffs] {{S-start}} {{Succession box|title=Stanley Cup playoffs|years=2022|before=[[2021 Stanley Cup playoffs]]|after=2023 Stanley Cup playoffs}} {{S-end}} {{2021–22 NHL season by team}} {{Stanley Cup playoffs}} [[Category:Stanley Cup playoffs]] [[Category:2022 Stanley Cup|play]]'
