Who will be playing on Hockey Night in Canada on Nov. 26?
Hockey Night in Canada will feature four NHL games on Nov. 26. Four of Canada’s hockey teams will be involved, with two of them having home games. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. ET before the games get started at 7:00 p.m. ET.
Three of the four games will start at 7:00. The most intriguing one features the Washington Capitals traveling to face the Toronto Maple Leafs. While the Caps are the presently great team, the Leafs might just be a future one. It should be an interesting matchup as the present meets the future. Auston Matthews and William Nylander lead an impressive Toronto offense while Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin are in charge of Washington’s. The game will be aired nationally in America on NHL Network. CBC will have the call in Toronto.
Also, the Montreal Canadiens travel to face the Detroit Red Wings. This is an old time rivalry, as these two teams have hated each other for well over 50 years. Carey Price and Shea Weber lead the impressive Canadiens while Dylan Larkin leads the Red Wings. This game will be on Sportsnet, TVAS, and Fox Sports Detroit.
The final 7:00 p.m. game will be between the visiting Carolina Hurricanes and the Ottawa Senators. Ottawa is led by perennial Norris Trophy candidate Erik Karlsson and center Kyle Turris. Goaltenders Mike Condon and Craig Anderson have both been phenomenal as well. Carolina has been led by impressive forwards Teuvo Teravainen and Jeff Skinner. Moreover, Victor Rask has been outstanding for the Hurricanes as well.
