NBC Sports has a full slate of NHL games this season, 109 in all. There will be a game on NBCSN every Wednesday night. Later in the season, games will appear on NBC and they will air the Stadium Series, Winter Classic and the All-Star Game. The New York Rangers have 13 games on the national television slate, about average for the last few years. How well do they do?
For starters, the fact that the Rangers are a non-playoff, rebuilding team doesn’t seem to have an impact on the number of national games. Last season they were featured in 14 games, second most in the last five years.
