NHL Games Today: Friday, Oct. 30, 2026 Schedule, 3 Games, Times and TV

There are 3 National Hockey League (NHL) games on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, and the first puck drop is at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), per the NHL’s official schedule data. The New Jersey Devils visit the Vegas Golden Knights at 6:00 p.m. ET, the Winnipeg Jets play at the Florida Panthers at 7:00 p.m. ET and the Seattle Kraken are at the Calgary Flames at 8:00 p.m. ET.

We took the games, times, arenas and TV listings from the league’s schedule feed on Oct. 29. This page does not carry live scores; the NHL schedule shows them once play starts.

What time are the NHL games tonight in my time zone?

Oct. 30 is before the U.S. clock change on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, so daylight time applies. We worked these out from the league’s Eastern start times.

Game	ET	Central (CT)	Mountain (MT)	Pacific (PT)
Devils at Golden Knights	6:00 p.m.	5:00 p.m.	4:00 p.m.	3:00 p.m.
Jets at Panthers	7:00 p.m.	6:00 p.m.	5:00 p.m.	4:00 p.m.
Kraken at Flames	8:00 p.m.	7:00 p.m.	6:00 p.m.	5:00 p.m.

The NHL lists the Saddledome start as 6:00 p.m. MT and the T-Mobile Arena start as 3:00 p.m. PT, which matches the table.

How do the teams stand entering the games?

Records are wins-losses-overtime losses (W-L-OTL), from the NHL standings entering Thursday’s games on Oct. 29, 2026. Points are in parentheses.

Team	Record (points)
Vegas Golden Knights	9-4-1 (19)
Seattle Kraken	8-4-1 (17)
New Jersey Devils	8-5-0 (16)
Florida Panthers	7-4-2 (16)
Winnipeg Jets	4-5-3 (11)
Calgary Flames	5-7-0 (10)

These are not Friday’s records: Thursday’s games are still to be played.

Where to watch NHL games tonight

In the U.S., the NHL lists one national channel for Friday: NHL Network for Devils at Golden Knights. The other two games are on regional channels, Scripps for the Panthers and Prime Video for the Kraken, so what you can see depends on where you live. Check your provider’s guide.

In Canada, the league lists Sportsnet+ for the first game, a French-language broadcast for Jets at Panthers, and Sportsnet and Sportsnet 360 for Kraken at Flames.
