\Correction: The NHL has added* 16 more national TV windows than last season. I apologize for the error.
The Avalanche and Bruins will each appear on national TV in the U.S. 17 times during the 2025-26 NHL regular season, tying them for the most among all 32 teams. It marks the third straight season that the Avalanche have led the league in scheduled national TV appearances after tying with the Penguins in 2024-25 (15 appearances) and taking the top spot outright in 2023-24 (15). In addition to the team’s consistent success in recent years, including a Stanley Cup title in 2021-22, the team likely benefits from being one of only two U.S. teams in the Mountain Time Zone (along with the Utah Mammoth).
