ESPN’s Frozen Frenzy returns Tuesday, October 13, for a fourth straight season. All 32 NHL teams play, in 16 games with staggered start times.
The ESPN tripleheader
The national games are on ESPN. New Jersey opens the night in Detroit. At 8:30 p.m., the Colorado Avalanche visit the Dallas Stars. The night ends in San Jose, where the Boston Bruins visit the Sharks.
| Time (ET) | Game |
|---|---|
| 6 p.m. | Devils at Red Wings |
| 8:30 p.m. | Avalanche at Stars |
| 11 p.m. | Bruins at Sharks |
Those are the games built around the league’s busiest night: Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar with the Avalanche in Dallas, and David Pastrnak’s Bruins against Macklin Celebrini’s Sharks to close it.
Whip-around coverage
John Buccigross and Kevin Weekes host five hours of whip-around coverage, from 7 p.m. to midnight ET, on ESPN2, Disney+ and the ESPN App. The show moves through goals, saves and finishes from around the league, and it is simulcast on ESPN during the tripleheader intermissions.
The other 13 games stream on NHL Power Play on the ESPN App. Start times are staggered by at least 15 minutes. The night’s preview, The Point, is at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPN+, with Steve Levy, P.K. Subban and Emily Kaplan.
Sixteen games. Thirty-two teams. One night of hockey.
