In case you didn’t know, playoff series home/away formatting for NHL playoffs 2-2-1-1-1, which means every series starts with 2 home games for the higher seed, 2 home games for the lower seed, and then back and forth until Game 7 at the higher seed. NHL playoff games will be streaming on ESPN, ESPN 2, TNT and ABC. But to make that easier to understand, every game will either be on ESPN+ or HBO Max, with the ESPN+ games also available to stream on the Ducks network, Victory+, which is totally free with the making of an account. If you couldn’t tell by now the Ducks making playoffs is extra special for this fanbase and county, as this is the first time as a whole that a pro sports team based in Anaheim has made playoffs this decade, (Angels haven’t since 2014). I know I’m hyped, I’m sure to catch every playoff game they have this season (Hopefully lots!) and I hope that you do too. Go Ducks!
