The NHL season continues this week with two exclusive games on ESPN+/Hulu, beginning Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET when the Philadelphia Flyers and Travis Konecny face the second-ranked Pacific Division Tampa Bay Lightning with their top goal scorer Nikita Kucherov at Amalie Arena.
Friday on ESPN+/Hulu, a Metropolitan Division matchup takes place between the Pittsburgh Penguins and team veteran Sidney Crosby against the Washington Capitals and their team veteran Alex Ovechkin (860 goals) who continues to inch toward breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time leading goal mark (894 goals). This will be the 70th time Crosby and Ovechkin face off against each other, both former #1 overall draft picks, adding another chapter to their legendary rivalry.
