You're a hockey fan looking forward to the next big matchup. You heard Jack Eichel and the Vegas Golden Knights are facing Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche. It's the battle of an aspiring Hart Trophy candidate and the reigning Hart Trophy winner. It's the type of appointment viewing that NHL fans aspire to see, specifically when there are two elite NHL players.
However, you must find a way to watch the game. You heard it was a nationally televised game and are scrambling to find the right channel. You're told it might be ESPN+, yet they're constantly blacked out in the market. You want to see it on Knighttime, but there have been... issues with the app.
Buffering problems and games being frozen are too much of a headache, leaving you angry. It's enough to leave you hitting the bottle early and it's not even game time!
But never fear, for you're covered here, dear reader. You'll get the lowdown on where to watch Wednesday's matchup and what time it starts. After all, hockey game day is essential viewing for everyone in Las Vegas. That way, you save your booze for when the Golden Knights play and not waste it.
Where to watch the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche play
TNT and the Max app are where to watch Jack Eichel and the Vegas Golden Knights play Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche. The Golden Knights will try for their fourth straight road win on Wednesday, while the Avalanche try to bounce back from an embarrassing 8-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday.
This isn't the first time the two teams have faced off on the channel. The season opener was also on TNT, where the Golden Knights doubled up the Avalanche, 8-4. October 9 kicked off a strong 8-0-0 start at T-Mobile Arena, where Eichel and company have enjoyed great success.
In fact, the two teams faced off in the Multiversus game on TNT. Warner Brothers characters like Bugs Bunny, Batman, and Shaggy appeared on the ice. The result was a 4-3 overtime victory for the Golden Knights, where Tomas Hertl notched the game-winner on the power play. They overcame a 3-0 deficit, scoring four unanswered goals to take the match.
Currently, MacKinnon's team is sitting in fourth place in the Central Division with 24 points. They have a record of 12-10-0 and hold one of two wild card spots in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Eichel's squad sits in first place in the Pacific Divison with 30 points and a record of 14-6-2. The Avalanche have a home record of 6-6-0 while the Golden Knights are 6-4-2 on the road. Vegas is 6-1-1 in their past eight road games, making them tough opponents.
If you don't mind seeing a hockey game on TNT, you'll have a good time on Wednesday. The game will feature two of the biggest stars in the NHL, with MacKinnon and Eichel facing off against each other. Some might hate watching hockey because of analysts like Paul Bissonnette. But, hey. It could be worse. You could be listening to Nick Wright's terrible NFL takes instead of Biz.
