Watch NHL hockey in The Battle for the Playoffs this month on ESPN+
ESPN+ is increasing its NHL hockey coverage for March as the Stanley Cup Playoffs approach!
NHL hockey has been a part of ESPN+ since it launched last April, and now they are putting a big skate forward on the service. They are increasing the number of games they cover, featuring more top teams in matchups and an exclusive post game NHL show nightly. You can watch all this extra NHL hockey streaming live on ESPN+.
The NHL has already been a big part of ESPN+ sports streaming service, with 9 games per week included to subscribers. For March, they are increasing that to 14 key games every week, with a focus on playoff-caliber teams. This "Battle for the Playoffs" will have every game feature at least one team that is in contention for the NHL postseason. Many of these games will have two playoff contenders going head to head! At the end of each night of hockey coverage, ESPN+ will also stream an exclusive post-game show called "In The Crease". Hosts Linda Cohn and Barry Melrose will be very familiar to longtime hockey and ESPN fans, and they will break down all the action from around the league that day.

ESPN+ has grown so much in its first year, adding more games and more sports at every turn. They recently passed 2 million subscribers, which is quite an achievement for the young service. With ESPN+ as a totally independent service from the ESPN channels, it has been popular with CordCutters who want to add sports to their streaming setup.
ESPN+ is easy to watch because it lives inside of the popular ESPN app. You can use your smartphone or tablet, or stream ESPN+ on your big screen TV. From smart TVs, streaming devices, and game consoles to AirPlay and Chromecast, ESPN+ gives you sports almost anywhere you could want them.
ESPN+ runs $5 a month, which is less than an NHL puck costs online. With so many NHL games this month, it's a steal for hockey fans, or sports fans who love tense matchups. This deal gets even better, as you get a seven day free trial when you sign up for the first time.
