Why Are NHL Games Blacked Out on ESPN+ in the US?

In the United States, NHL broadcast rights are split between local Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) & in-market streamers—such as MSG Network, NESN, Prime Video, Scripps Sports, Altitude Sports, and team-run networks (DSN, Wild+, BN+, ABTV, HHN)—and national broadcasters (ESPN, ABC, TNT, and NHL Network).

ESPN+ is the official out-of-market streaming service in the US. If you live inside a team's designated local broadcast territory (determined by your 5-digit US ZIP code), that team's regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ to protect the local RSN's exclusivity. Additionally, games selected for exclusive national television broadcasts on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network are blacked out on ESPN+ nationwide unless simulcast on ABC/ESPN+.
