How to watch tonight's streaming-only Calgary Flames game
Calgary Flames fans looking to catch tonight’s action will have to turn to a streaming service rather than their usual television channels.
The Flames are set to take on the New York Rangers, but the game won’t be available through the traditional regional or national sports broadcasts.

Instead, fans will need an Amazon Prime membership to watch the action, with the matchup being featured as part of the streaming giant’s Wednesday Night Hockey programming.
The good news is that there is no additional charge to watch the game for those who already subscribe to Amazon Prime. For anyone who doesn’t currently have a membership, here is a look at the available pricing options:
- Monthly: $9.99/month
- Annually: $99/year
- Students: $4.99/month or $49/year (after a six-month free trial)
Once subscribed, fans can stream the game through the Prime Video app on a smart TV, streaming device, smartphone, or computer.
To find the broadcast, simply open Prime Video, head to the sports section, and look for the NHL game listing.
For Flames fans, it’s another reminder that not every game this season will be accessible through the usual television options, with streaming services continuing to play a bigger role in how Canadians watch NHL hockey.
This will mark the Flames’ second game on Prime this season. It will also be the last for some time, as they won’t be part of the Wednesday Night Hockey coverage until Feb. 24 in a game against the Utah Mammoth. Their fourth and final game of the season on Prime will be on March 3 against the Edmonton Oilers.
