How to Catch Tonight's Canadiens Game on Amazon Prime Video: Don’t Miss Out!

For hockey fans eager to watch the Montreal Canadiens take on the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight, there’s a new way to tune in thanks to Amazon’s recent acquisition of NHL broadcasting rights. This is a significant shift in hockey viewing as it marks the first time in years that a regular-season Canadiens game won’t be available in English on traditional TV.

What You Need to Know:
1. Stream on Amazon Prime Video

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can watch the game live without any additional fees. A subscription to Amazon Prime costs approximately $10 a month, or you can opt for an annual plan at $99, which breaks down to about $8.25 monthly. Not yet a member? Amazon offers a 30-day free trial, allowing you to catch tonight’s game at no cost. You can watch on multiple platforms, including:

- A computer through primevideo.com

- The Prime Video app on smartphones

- Streaming devices like Roku and Chromecast

- Latest-generation set-top boxes from Bell Fibe and Vidéotron Helix

- Many smart TVs

2. Watch it on RDS

For fans in Quebec and surrounding areas, the game will still air on RDS in French, despite Amazon holding the English-language rights.

3. Listen on the Radio

For those who prefer audio, TSN Radio 690 will cover the game in English, while 98.5 FM offers the French broadcast.

4. Avoid Illegal Streams

While some might consider seeking out bootleg streams, it’s essential to note that these options are illegal and often unreliable. Instead, you can wait for highlights that will be readily available on platforms like TSN, Sportsnet, and the Canadiens' social media channels post-game.

5. U.S. Audience Viewing Options

If you’re in the United States, catch the game on SportsNet Pittsburgh, which broadcasts in the Penguins' region, or available nationally on ESPN+.

Production Plans for the Game

Amazon is shaking up the viewing experience by promising engaging pre-game, intermission, and post-game segments with a variety of on-air talents, including host Adnan Virk and rinkside reporter Andi Petrillo. Additionally, expect a special guest during the first intermission—Canadiens owner Geoff Molson will be joining live from the Bell Centre!

Get Ready for More Action!

This game is just the start; Amazon has secured rights to five Canadiens games this season, including upcoming clashes on November 18, December 9, January 6, and April 14.
