What channel is NBCSN on your television? Here’s the listings for the channel so you can watch the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The NHL has been showing several games a week on NBCSN for several years now. Now the network is starting to get a lot of the playoff games. Starting in the first round, it will get at least one of the series. It will be the primary home for the 2016-17 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Because it’s not the same as NBC, people sometimes get confused what channel it is.

If you need to find the network, you can do it here. Their website should be able to tell you which channel NBC’s sports network is on via your zip code and television provider. Until 2012, the network was known as Versus. From 1995 to 2006, it was called the Outdoor Channel. After a brief period as NBC Sports Network, it became known as NBCSN in 2013.

Doc Emrick will be a part of one of the commentary crews. He’s one of the best hockey broadcasters around. Emrick’s voice is well known to NHL fans because of all the games he does. Also, you might recognize his voice from video games as he does the calls for NHL 17 and most of its ancestors.

In the studio, Keith Jones, Jeremy Roenick and everybody’s favorite man to hate Mike Milbury will be giving intermission updates. Walking hockey Wikipedia Pierre McGuire will be doing interviews before the games and sometimes during intermissions.
