How to watch NHL games today on Halloween

The NHL lists no national U.S. TV channel for any Saturday game. What you can see depends on where you live, so check local listings and your provider’s guide. In Canada, the league lists national Sportsnet channels for six of the ten games.

Blue Jackets at Stars	Prime Video (Stars, U.S.); Blue Jackets regional networks	Not listed

Some regional channels appear in the league’s feed only as short codes, so the table names them by team instead of guessing at the full name or channel number that your cable, satellite or streaming provider uses in your area. Check the guide.

Which team plays two nights in a row?

Calgary is the only team that plays on both Friday and Saturday. That is a back-to-back. The Flames host the Seattle Kraken on Friday, Oct. 30, at 8:00 p.m. ET, then play at the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday at 10:00 p.m. ET, the last game of the day. Friday’s full slate is in our story on NHL games today for Oct. 30.
