The National Hockey League released its 2011-12 national television schedule on Thursday, featuring over 100 games on NBC and NBC Sports Network (currently Versus).
The season begins with a doubleheader on Versus October 6, with the Flyers taking on the defending champion Bruins in Boston, followed by the Penguins facing last year’s runner-up, the Canucks.
NBC begins its coverage on November 25, with Red Wings/Bruins.
Of note, the new Winnipeg Jets (formerly the Atlanta Thrashers) are scheduled to make one national TV appearance, at home against the Sabres on NBCSN March 5.
