How to stream NHL playoff games
If you do not have a traditional cable/satellite subscription, you can still stream all Stanley Cup playoff games via streaming providers DIRECTV, Sling
, YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV. (Sling does not have local channels, but ABC games are available on the service through ESPN3.)
Fubo has all games on ABC and ESPN, but does not have TNT or TBS. If you do not receive TNT or TBS through your cable or satellite provider, games on those networks are available to stream through the sports add-on to HBO Max. The Sports add-on is included as part of the “standard” ($18.49/mo) and “premium” ($23/mo) tiers, but not the “basic” ($11/mo) tier.
If you subscribe to ESPN or TNT through a cable, satellite or streaming provider, you can watch games through the ESPN app (ESPN and ABC) or the Watch TNT app (TNT). Authentication is required.
