Eight of those telecasts will be carried by ESPN and its streaming service ESPN+, while three additional games are slated for TNT, giving the Hurricanes exposure across multiple platforms.
A notable change involves the matchup against the New York Rangers on November 22, which has been moved to a 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time start, earlier than the originally scheduled 1 p.m. slot.
The league has adjusted the start times for six of Carolina’s contests, including two home games, to better align with broadcast windows and viewer preferences.
These televised games pit the Hurricanes against a varied slate of opponents, including the Florida Panthers, Boston Bruins, New York Islanders, Tampa Bay Lightning, Minnesota Wild, Colorado Avalanche, New Jersey Devils and Anaheim Ducks, each promising competitive matchups for fans tuning in.
The national schedule stretches from September through March, weaving together home and away fixtures and ensuring that supporters across the United States can follow the team’s progress throughout the season.
