The NBC sports group released its official national broadcast schedule for the NHL on Monday. You've probably already seen it at this point, but here are some of the highlights:
- There will be 105 games shown on NBC or NBCSN next season (which appears to be 104 regular season games plus the All-Star game).
- Twelve teams are featured 10 or more times, led by the Chicago Blackhawks with a somewhat silly 21. Four Canadian teams - Calgary, Ottawa, Vancouver and Winnipeg - will not be featured at all, and eight US-based teams have four or fewer games.
