Considering that the Anaheim Ducks were a Game 7 loss away from playing for Lord Stanley’s Cup, it is a little disappointing to see that the Ducks only have four nationally-televised games this season, a fact that is only made worse by the fact that both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia will appear on either NBC or NBC Sports 18 times in 2015-2016.

The Blue Jackets, as of today, are scheduled for one appearance: a February 23 game at Detroit, which will air on NBC Sports Network (7:30 p.m. puck drop at Joe Louis Arena).
The national TV schedule is subject to change over the course of the season, but as of now, 12 of the 21 contests are exclusively for NBC and NBCSN while the other nine will be carried locally on Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
Beginning on January 24, and continuing through the end of the regular season, NBC will present the National Hockey League Game of the Week, generally occurring on Sunday afternoons. The Sharks will be part of a doubleheader on October 7 to kick off the new National Hockey League season as they will follow the Chicago Blackhawks against the New York Rangers.
57 of NBC and NBCSN’s 105 telecasts feature at least one Western Conference team, and every U.S. team will appear on NBC or NBCSN in the regular season.
