On Monday evening, for the first time in years, a regular-season Canadiens game will not be available in English on TV.
That’s because Amazon has acquired the Canadian TV rights to select Monday night NHL games from Rogers for the next two seasons. And Monday’s game with the Canadiens against the Pittsburgh Penguins is the first of those games.
Of the 26 Monday night games that Amazon has acquired rights to this season, five are Canadiens games. The others are Nov. 18, Dec. 9, Jan. 6 and April 14.

Methods that won’t work include watching on NHL Center Ice or Sportsnet+ Premium. The game will be blacked out on those services, at least in English.
If you’re in the U.S., you’ll still be able to watch the game on SportsNet Pittsburgh (in the Penguins’ region) or ESPN+ nationally.
And no matter how you watch it (or don’t), there’s always the Hockey Inside/Out liveblog and the About Last Night recap on Tuesday.
Amazon has promised pre-game, intermission and post-game segments for its Prime Monday Night Hockey broadcasts. On-air talent includes Adnan Virk hosting, Andi Petrillo reporting from rinkside, John Forslund on play-by-play, and analysts including Blake Bolden, Shane Hnidy, Thomas Hickey and Jody Shelley. Canadiens owner Geoff Molson will be a guest during the first intermission, live from Section M2 inside the Bell Centre.
Prime also promises a feature called Rapid Recap that will produce two-minute highlight reels using “machine learning” so people who tune in late can catch up.
Besides the Monday night games, Prime Video also has a show Thursday nights called NHL Coast to Coast, which will check in live with games around the league. Petrillo hosts that show.
