How to read the NHL schedule today in your time zone

All times on this page are shown in Eastern Time (ET), the time zone most national broadcasts use. Canada spans six time zones in Canada, so here is a quick conversion:

If the game starts at…	Newfoundland	Atlantic	Eastern	Central	Mountain	Pacific
7:00 PM ET	8:30 PM	8:00 PM	7:00 PM	6:00 PM	5:00 PM	4:00 PM
8:00 PM ET	9:30 PM	9:00 PM	8:00 PM	7:00 PM	6:00 PM	5:00 PM
10:00 PM ET	11:30 PM	11:00 PM	10:00 PM	9:00 PM	8:00 PM	7:00 PM

Saskatchewan does not change its clocks, so during daylight saving time most of the province matches Mountain time, and in winter it matches Central time.

How to watch tonight’s NHL games in Canada

Hockey is spread across several national and regional channels in Canada, and following one team for a full season can mean juggling multiple packages. With IPTV Canada Premium, sports channels and pay-per-view events are included in every plan, so you can check the NHL schedule today, open your player app and go straight to the Sports category.

• Use the TV guide: once you have your login, the EPG shows which sports channel carries each game. Mark your favourite channels so they sit at the top of the list.
• Use catch-up: missed the start? On supported channels you can rewind and replay the game from puck drop.
• Choose Gold for big games: the Gold plan adds 4K / UHD where available and priority servers for busy game nights.
• Go wired: live sports use more bandwidth than regular TV. An Ethernet cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi keeps the picture smooth in overtime.

New to IPTV? Start with a free trial and test a live game on your own TV before you choose a plan. Our Firestick guide and Android TV guide get you set up in about ten minutes.

About the NHL season

Weeknight games usually start between 7:00 PM and 10:30 PM ET, while weekends add afternoon matinees and Saturday night doubleheaders, the busiest night of the week for Canadian hockey fans.
