Six NHL Teams Shift In-Market Games to Prime Video as RSN Collapse Drives Streaming

Summary
Six NHL teams — the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes, Ducks, Blue Jackets, Stars, Wild and Blues — said Wednesday their in-market games will move to Amazon Prime Video.
Regional sports network decline is driving the shift, but the rollout will vary by team: some packages will be included with Prime, some sold as add-ons, and some available without a Prime membership.
Most of the clubs will still offer non-streaming alternatives, while games carried nationally by TNT, ESPN or ABC will not be available on Prime Video.
The change applies only inside each team’s local market; U.S. out-of-market NHL streaming rights remain with ESPN+.
