Will hockey games be blacked out?
Select games on NHL Network will be blacked out in the markets of the teams playing. In some cases, an alternate game will be shown on the NHL Network alternate channel, available in your guide. The alternate game will only be available in those markets where the game is blacked out on the primary NHL Network channel.
Some games may be blacked out due to local blackout rules, or because SLING TV doesn't have the rights to broadcast a game. Impacted subscribers will not be able to watch the game unless it is also on a local broadcast network, available either through your Sling TV subscription, or with an over-the-air antenna.
