Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche crushed the competition last season, but some serious moving and shaking may have shifted the balance of power for the new campaign. No team has seen bigger changes than the Calgary Flames, who are being hotly tipped as Stanley Cup contenders, but don’t write off the Tampa Bay Lightning just yet. Follow our guide for all your NHL streaming needs wherever you are during the 2022/23 season, including details for fans without cable in the US.
No matter how you spin it, losing Nazem Kadri and Darcy Kuemper was hardly the ideal way for the Avs to prepare for their first title defense since 2001, not least because their former center is in the form of his career and now taking up residence at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Pacific Division is shaping up particularly nicely. Connor McDavid’s Edmonton Oilers are likely to push the Flames hard, although the Avs would do well to keep an eye out for threats closer to home, namely the Minnesota Wild, who have one of the meanest defenses out there.
While the three-peat ultimately wasn’t to be for the Lightning, Jon Cooper’s unit remains one of the strongest in recent NHL history, but the Carolina Hurricanes and Matthew Tkachuk’s Florida Panthers are two teams on the rise and desperate to make their mark.

How to watch NHL games from outside your country
Whether you’re watching the NHL online or on TV, geo-blocks can be especially annoying, as they’ll not only prevent you from watching local games, but they’ll also stop you tuning in at all when you’re out of the country.
A VPN will let you change your IP address so that you appear to be in a completely different location where the game you want to watch isn’t blacked out, thereby allowing you to access the content and services you pay for back home no matter where you are.
VPNs are easy to set up and use and aren’t just for watching sports from abroad – they also offer robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping.
