Hockey fans in Canada will have a new way to stream NHL games with the inaugural Prime Monday Night Hockey, coming to Prime Video at no extra cost to subscribers. It will begin on Thanksgiving, Oct. 14 at 7:00 p.m. ET, with the Montreal Canadiens hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Prime Video has put together a team of stars to be the on-air talent, bringing their expert insight to every game. This includes veteran announcer John Forslund and analysts Jody Shelley, Thomas Hickey and Shane Hnidy. Additionally, the Prime Monday Night sports desk will include Adnan Virk, Andi Petrillo and Blake Bolden, with Hockey Hall of Famer Mark Messier contributing throughout the season.
“This is probably more accessible … than any other distribution mode we have in Canada,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said during an event for Prime Monday Night Hockey in Toronto.
Bettman added that he believes Amazon will be a “wow” factor and “break some tradition,” which he said would be a positive change.

Also being added to Prime Video content is NHL Coast To Coast, a live, weekly whiparound studio show, hosted by Petrillo, which will debut on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 7:00 p.m. ET. The show will include game highlights and analysis, and interviews with players, coaches and commentators. Petrillo highlighted that the show will be similar to NFL RedZone.
New NHL docuseries ‘Faceoff: Inside the NHL’
Prime Video will also premiere the docuseries Faceoff: Inside the NHL on Oct. 4. The six-episode series provides intimate and unprecedented access to the NHL’s top stars, including Boston Bruins teammates David Pastrnak and Jeremy Swayman, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander.
“Growing up watching [documentaries following the NHL], … it was fun to see guys away from the rink,” Nylander said on Monday. “I think that was one of my reasons why I wanted to do it, because it’s fun to show that part of hockey too.”
“We found these amazing characters that we were able to really go deep with and spend time with, get to know, and some of the best access we’ve had on any of our shows has come here,” Paul Martin, executive producer and co-founder of Box To Box Films said earlier in Monday’s event.
“At Box To Box, for us we always try to take the sport, out of the story and focus on the individuals, and really finding compelling narratives that really could exist in any world. And the hope is if we do that, we deliver those type of shows, people will fall in love with the sport behind it, or hardcore fans of the sport will see a different side of of the athletes that they love. And I think we’ve done a really great job on this show.”
