How to watch tonight's streaming-only Oilers-Rangers game
The Edmonton Oilers are back in action against the New York Rangers on Monday night, but you won’t find it on TV.
Fans wanting to catch the final meeting of the season between the Oilers and Rangers will need to stream the game exclusively on Sportsnet+ for Edmonton’s second appearance on the platform’s Monday Night Hockey program.
Sportsnet TV subscribers will need to chip in an additional $12.99/month to access these Monday Night Hockey games, which include tonight’s Oilers game. Those who aren’t Sportsnet TV subscribers will need to purchase a Sportsnet+ subscription, which costs either $34.99 per month or $269.99 per year.
The only fans who don’t need to pay extra are Rogers Xfinity TV customers with Sportsnet, who will be able to access the streaming-only content for no extra cost.

This is the second of nine Monday Night Hockey matchups featuring the Oilers this season, all of which will be streamed exclusively on Sportsnet+. The remaining games will be:
- Dec. 14 vs. Montreal Canadiens
- Dec. 28 vs. Washington Capitals
- Jan. 11 vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
- Feb. 22 vs. Ottawa Senators
- March 1 vs. Chicago Blackhawks
- March 15 vs. Colorado Avalanche
- April 11 vs. Calgary Flames
Portions of the Oilers fanbase were not impressed with the team’s first game on Monday Night Hockey last month, with many taking exception to a broadcast being behind a paywall for those who already pay for a Sportsnet TV subscription.
This is in addition to a select number of Wednesday night games being streamed on Prime Video this season, which will also require an additional subscription to watch.

Though it’s frustrating some fans, Sportsnet has told Offside that the network is actively working with other Canadian distribution partners to give its TV subscribers additional options to access Sportsnet+ content.
Puck drop at Rogers Place is set for 7 p.m. ABT.
