How to watch Toronto Maple Leafs-Calgary Flames game that's not on TV tonight
Tonight’s game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames will look a little different than most.
And no, it’s not just because the host Maple Leafs will be wearing Toronto St. Pats jerseys to honour both their former franchise name and the annual holiday.
While most NHL games in Canada are available to be watched on either Sportsnet or TSN, the March 17 contest is a streaming-only affair, with the game being broadcast by Prime Video as part of its Monday Night Hockey offering that debuted this season.
Prime’s Monday Night Hockey content is available to anyone in Ontario, Alberta, and the rest of Canada with an internet connection and an Amazon Prime account. Prime members will receive the games at no extra cost, while subscriptions are $9.99 per month or $99 annually.
The good news is that most major devices can access the Prime Video app with a stable internet connection. A full list of available devices is listed online.
Puck drop for the game between the two Canadian teams is set for 7:30 p.m. EDT/5:30 p.m. MDT.
The two teams met last month in Alberta, with the visiting Maple Leafs coming away with a 6-3 win in that one. But both teams will be looking to reverse their recent fortunes: Toronto has lost five of their last six games, while the Flames have lost six of eight.
Tonight’s game is the final Maple Leafs’ appearance this season on Prime, while the Flames will be back on the service in two weeks, when they take on the Colorado Avalanche on March 31.
