Games will be broadcast on ESPN, TNT and TBS. If you don’t have cable, you still have options to watch every game of the playoffs. The cheapest option to watch every NHL playoff game is Sling TV, which is currently offering $10 off your first month and one month free of AMC+.

Here's how you can livestream the Washington Capitals, Winnipeg Jets, Vegas Golden Knights, Toronto Maple Leafs, Dallas Stars and other NHL Playoff teams in action online.
