Stanley Cup Finals 2025 preview

After finishing third in the Atlantic Division, the Florida Panthers have been sensational during the playoffs. They first overcame the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games before recovering from 2-0 down to secure a 4-3 victory over the table-topping Toronto Maple Leafs. In the Eastern Conference finals, Paul Maurice’s side eased to a 4-1 series victory over the Carolina Hurricanes to reach their third straight Stanley Cup Final. Seeking their second straight title, they’ll be looking for big performances from in-form goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and center Sam Bennett.

Just like the Panthers, the Edmonton Oilers also finished third in their division before knocking out both of the sides that finished above them. In the first round, they dispatched the Los Angeles Kings in six games before overcoming the Vegas Golden Knights in five games. In the Western Conference final, they again needed just five games to advance as they dominated the Dallas Stars. Now presented with a chance to avenge last year’s Finals defeat, they’ll need Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to be at their very best throughout the series.

Stanley Cup 2025 Finals predictions

Edmonton Oilers have nothing but revenge on their mind and start as favorites against the Florida Panthers, their vanquishers 12 months ago, for the Stanley Cup.

That feeling was only entrenched further after an opening game 4-3 win in overtime for the Oilers, with Connor McDavid again impressing. Not even Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 42 saves, could keep out the Canadians.

NHL playoffs story so far

All four divisional winners made it safely into the second but they didn't all have it easy.

In the Eastern Conference, Mitch Marner shone for Toronto as they beat fellow Canadians Ottawa. Toronto hasn't always had the best relationship with the playoffs but that could be changing.

Elsewhere in the conference, there were relatively comfortable 4-1 series wins for Florida, Washington and Carolina.

In the Western Conference, Central Division winners, and early Stanley Cup favorites, Winnipeg need a big Game 7 comeback to knock out a spirited St. Louis, with home advantage proving crucial.

Dallas also won a deciding match, as Mikko Rantanen came up clutch across Games 5, 6 and 7 to upset Colorado. Stanley Cup 2024 finalists Edmonton pulled off a shock, though, beating Los Angeles 4-2.

Eastern Conference
Toronto 4-2 Ottawa
Tampa Bay 1-4 Florida
Washington 4-1 Montreal
Carolina 4-1 New Jersey

Western Conference
Winnipeg 4-3 St. Louis
Dallas 4-3 Colorado
Vegas 4-2 Minnesota
Los Angeles 2-4 Edmonton

New for this year, the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off kicked off in Montreal last week and with the US, Canada, Finland and Sweden facing each other in a round-robin tournament, and this Thursday the United States face Canada in the Championship game. It's the first time NHL players have been seen in international competition for several years, and it's headed for a best-on-best final.

Here’s how to watch 2025 NHL 4 Nations Face-Off live streams online and from anywhere.

Before Monday, the United States were in pole position having won their first two games, but a surprise loss to Sweden saw Canada close the gap to the top of the table. Despite the defeat, the US are still headed to the final, where they'll face Canada on Thursday at 8pm ET/1am GMT (Fri). Team USA won when they met in the round-robin, but both sides are looking equally strong.

The NHL 4 Nations Face-Off is a new initiative from the NHL which is running this year instead of the NHL All-Star game, and acts as a tantalising preview for some of the clashes we're expecting to see in the Winter Olympics in 2026.

This is important because 2026 will be the first time that NHL players represent their countries in the Olympics since 2014, with the league's player skipping in 2018 and 2022, due to a dispute with the IOC and then Covid-19 concerns.

This means that the 4 Nations will be the first test for many teams to see how their squads might shape up in Milano Cortina. Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers will be the player to watch for the United States, whilst Connor McDavid will be relied upon for Canada.

Want to see who comes out on top? Here's all the channels for the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off live streams, as well as a full schedule of games.

Stars vs Golden Knights TV schedule

Stars vs Golden Knights preview

After a crucial call against Stars captain Jamie Benn that leaves him suspended for this pivotal game, Dallas had no choice but to win tonight. With the Flordia Panthers already solidifying their place in the finals, this game 4 could send the Golden Knights through to the next round.

Dallas won all three regular-season meetings with Vegas, with two of them going to a shootout, but this is the one that counts.

They've each gone about their business in very different ways this postseason, with the Golden Knights emerging as the comeback kings, a trait the Stars are yet to master. 

Stand-in goalie Adin Hill is playing out his NHL fantasy for the Golden Knights, while Jack Eichel is making the most of his long-awaited maiden playoffs adventure, his goals and assists helping to make Vegas the most potent team still in contention.

Panthers vs Hurricanes TV schedule

Panthers vs Hurricanes preview – Game 1

Massive underdogs through both of the previous rounds, against all odds the Panthers have reached the Eastern Conference Final for the first time in 27 years, and their journey gets more and more extraordinary as they face the Hurricanes.

The Panthers' Marc Staal and former Stanley Cup-winning Canes captain Eric Staal are competing against their brother, the current Canes captain Jordan Staal, for a shot at the championship. Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour, meanwhile, is looking to outmatch his former mentor, Florida coach Paul Maurice, who had two stints in charge of their opponents and gave Rod the Bod his big coaching break.

Love can make people behave in strange ways, and we have no doubt that those fraternal bonds will inspire just that little bit extra from the series' main protagonists. 

The Panthers entered the playoffs as the team that everybody wanted to play, but after pulling off almighty upsets over the Bruins and Maple Leafs, there's a growing sense that this could actually be their year. The Hurricanes, who beat the Panthers twice in the regular season, need to block out all of the noise and just focus on what's in front of them: an on-fire Matthew Tkachuk.

Here's how to watch a Panthers vs Hurricanes live stream no matter where you are. The puck drops for Game 1 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT on Thursday.

Read on for full details of how to watch Devils vs Hurricanes – Game 4 of their 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs series – tonight.

Devils vs Hurricanes preview – Game 5

The teams were nigh-on inseparable during the regular season, splitting their series and finishing just one point apart in the Metropolitan Division, so it’s little wonder that this Stanley Cup playoffs clash between the Devils was expected to be the matchup of the second round. 

Divisional champions Carolina hammered New Jersey 6-1 Game 4 to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Can the Devils come back from the brink of elimination in Game 5? The action airs live on TNT on Thursday, May 11.

Lindy Ruff's gamble on rookie goaltender Akira Schmid paid off handsomely, his Game 7 shutout helping the Devils complete a turnaround against their arch-rivals the Rangers. As if getting the puck in the back of the net wasn't already difficult enough for the Hurricanes...

They've had rotten luck with injuries, losing three of their top offensive threats in Max Pacioretty, Andrei Svechnikov and Teuvo Teravainen. Crucial contributions from Sebastian Aho and Paul Stastny helped them see off the Islanders in six, but can it be sustained?

Martin Necas, who led the team with 71 points during the regular season, hasn't looked at all like himself so far, and Rod Brind'Amour has his work cut out trying to coax the best out of the 24-year-old. We all know he's got it in him.

The puck drops for Game 5 at 7pm ET on Thursday. Here's how to watch a Devils vs Hurricanes live stream no matter where you are in the world. Pro tip: you might want to try a VPN if you're looking to tune into NHL while abroad.

Panthers vs Maple Leafs TV schedule

Panthers vs Maple Leafs preview – Game 4

The Leafs' hopes of lifting the Stanley Cup are hanging by the thread as they head into Game 4 of their Second Round series against the Panthers. The Toronto team are 3-0 down and will need a win on the road at the FLA Live Arena tonight to stay in contention.

Rookie goalie Joseph Woll will start in place of the injured Ilya Samsonov – a great way for the 24-year-old to make a name for himself if he can pull off some magic. The Maple Leafs need something to go right at the other end of the ice too, though. Forwards Mitchell Marner and William Nylander have yet to score in the series.

Only four teams have ever come back from this position to win 7-game series in the NHL but the Maple Leafs were one of them in the 1942 Stanley Cup final. Can they manage that feat again?

The improbably flying Florida Panthers will have something to say about that, no doubt. Their defeat of the Bruins has been hailed as the greatest upset in NHL history, and they play with a sense of nothing to lose.

Aussies can tune in via Kayo, and Brits can watch on Viaplay. Read on for full details of how to watch Panthers vs Bruins – Game 2 of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs – tonight.

Panthers vs Bruins preview – Game 2

As obvious favorites to win the Stanley Cup this year the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers will hit the ice for game 2 at TD Garden tonight. With Boston cruising through the regular season, their playoff run shows no signs of slowing down. A 3-1 win Monday night puts them up 1-0 in the best-of-seven series.

It will be a tough battle for the Panthers throughout the series, but they are coming off a hot end-of-season run that they hope to keep going for the series with Boston. Offensively strong, they were the only team this season to twice score at least four goals against Boston.

Boston of course won’t go down without a fight (if at all). With a record-setting regular season in the books, they certainly have the motivation to cap it with an historic playoff run as well. They’ll need to stay healthy throughout this opening series (and beyond) if they want to put all the pieces in the right places. 

Perhaps the biggest news is whether or not Boston captain Patrice Bergeron will be healthy when the puck drops. Bergeron missed game 1 due to illness that has apparently swept through the Bruins’ locker room. 

As much as Boston has the momentum, it’s still very much anyone’s series at this point. Florida can easily snag a win before they head back home, which could put the Bruins on their heels for the rest of the series. 

The puck drops for game 2 tonight at 7p ET. Here's how to watch a Panthers vs Bruins live stream no matter where you are in the world. Pro tip: you might want to try a VPN if you're looking to tune into NHL while abroad.

NHL Stadium Series preview

Potentially ice-melting weather aside, the NHL could have hardly planned North Carolina's first-ever outdoor game better. The Eastern Metropolitan division rivals faced off earlier this week in a game that went down to the wire and was decided by a contentious goaltender interference call that denied the Capitals a game-tying goal right at the last.

That was the Hurricanes' first victory since the All-Star break, and with the Devils sitting on their shoulder in the division standings, Rod Brind'Amour would have been a relieved man. It was his challenge that ultimately secured victory for the Canes, but he'll know that if the Caps were going to bring it before, he can expect Peter Laviolette's men to be driven by twice the motivation now.

The Capitals have played in three previous outdoor games and won them all, whereas this is all new to their opponents. However, they're once again set to be without main man Alex Ovechkin, who's in Moscow attending to a serious family matter.

His teammates will have their captain in their minds as they hit the rink at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, but can they account for his quality and experience with sheer heart and determination? Defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, whose goal was chalked off on Tuesday, and forward T.J. Oshie, who was deemed to be obstructing Canes goaltender Frederik Andersen, will certainly be up for the fight.

NBA All-Star Weekend 2023 preview

Nobody puts on an All-Star Weekend quite like the NBA, and this year we're in Salt Lake City, with Team LeBron set to face Team Giannis at the Utah Jazz's Vivint Arena. The headline act is just one component of a Grade A schedule that's fit to bursting, the highlights being the star-studded All-Star Celebrity Game (for the chuckles), the Rising Stars game (for the hoops nerds), and All-Star Saturday Night (the main event for many), comprising the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, and prestigious Slam Dunk competition.

Fresh from setting a new NBA scoring record, King James will no doubt be the center of attention at the three-day jamboree, though his teammates for the All-Star Game are yet to be decided. That's because the draft will be held just before tip-off. As of now, all we know is that the Nuggets' Michael Malone has been assigned to coach Team LeBron, and the Celtics' Joe Mazzulla will take the reins of Team Giannis.

Because the All-Star vote concluded before the trade deadline, only three of the original five Eastern Conference starters actually play in the Eastern Conference. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were both traded from the Nets just over a week ago, though Irving's knee injury means he won't make it out onto the court at all. Steph Curry and Zion Williamson, representing the Western Conference, have also been ruled out.

The Rockets' Kenyon Martin Jr. will be one of the happiest guys out there, having been granted a temporary reprieve from fighting fires with the Rockets in order to strut his stuff in the Slam Dunk Contest, while the prospect of seeing the superhuman physique of stud NFL receiver DK Metcalf on-court in the All-Star Celebrity Game is almost as much of a selling point as the actual All-Star Game. 

Read on as we explain how to get a 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend live stream from anywhere. We've also listed the full NBA All-Star Weekend schedule and other details below.

NBA All-Star Saturday Night 2023

Of course, it's not just about the All-Star Game. One of the main attractions of the weekend is All-Star Saturday Night, which tips off at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 5pm PT on Saturday, February 18.

As ever, it will encompass three events: the Skills Challenge, the 3-Point Contest, and the Slam Dunk.

The Skills Challenge is the first event and pits three teams of three players against each other in a three-round competition that tests their shooting, passing, and dribbling. The top two teams then face off in a half-court shot showdown.

Next is the 3-Point Contest, a two-round, timed shooting competition between eight all-stars. It's 70 seconds of mayhem for every contender, who has to rack up as many points as possible from a multitude of pre-determined shooting locations - and don't forget about those money balls.

Closing the night we have the big one, the Slam Dunk Contest, a two-round competition that will see a panel of judges rate every dunk on a scale of 6 to 10, with Trey Murphy III, Kenyon Martin Jr., Jericho Sims, and Mac McClung in the spotlight and looking to impress with some outrageous aerial maneuvers.

2023 NBA All-Star Weekend host city and venues

Salt Lake City is hosting the NBA All-Star Weekend for the second time ever, with the All-Star Game set to be played at Vivint Arena, home of the Utah Jazz.

It's also where the Rising Stars tournament and All-Star Saturday Night will play out, while the University of Utah’s Jon M. Huntsman Center will host the All-Star Celebrity Game, the NBA x HBCU Classic, and the NBA G League Next Up Game.

The National Hockey League is heading to Fort Lauderdale, not for spring break but something only slightly less raucous – the All-Star Weekend. Featuring seven Skills Competitions at various venues all around and the Sunshine State, and the All-Star Game at FLA Live Arena, the home of the Florida Panthers, it's a chance for the NHL's best players to flaunt their talents, show off their personalities, and get one over an opponent or two. 

It's always a memorable occasion, but this year's event promises to be extra special for Alex Ovechkin, who's taking part in his eighth All-Star Game and his first since 2018 (having had to skip his last three call ups), and for Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk, representing his team in his hometown, alongside his brother, Senators forward Brady Tkachuk.

The All-Star Game component of the weekend takes part on Saturday. It's a three-game tournament played in a 3-on-3 format, and the head coaches are Rod Brind'Amour (Metropolitan), Jim Montgomery (Atlantic), Peter DeBoer (Central) and Bruce Cassidy (Pacific).

Friday is Skills Competition day, and there are a few new games on the cards this year, one of which involves dunking! We've listed the rosters and details of the Skills Competition further down the page.

NHL All-Star Skills Competition 2023

The 2023 All-Star Skills Competition is being held on Friday, February 3, starting at 7pm ET / 6pm CT / 4pm PT. Once again, it will encompass seven events, three of which are brand new.

Splash Shot sounds like the most exciting of them all, and the recipe for a an all-out brawl on the Fort Lauderdale beach. Eight players, split into four pairings, will have to hit a series of targets in order to earn the chance to dunk their opponents. 

Pitch 'n Puck sounds pretty great too, combining ice hockey and golf to create the super-sport that every kid has dreamed about at least once. Six players will be let loose on a par-4 hole featuring an island green, and will have to sink a puck. In the event of a tie, the player who hit the longest drives takes the win. 

Tendy Tandem is essentially a direct replacement for Save Streak, and requires eight goalies to pair up, with one shooting and the other in net, guarding a hole (three points) and a target (two points). Standard shootout rules apply, and the duo with the most points wins. 

And, of course, there are the old favorites Fastest Skater, Hardest Shot, Breakaway Challenge, and Accuracy Shooting.

More Canadian than Wayne Gretzky riding a zamboni with a Timmy's Double Double and a two-four in the back – ask any self-respecting Canadian and they'll tell you there's simply no substitute for Hockey Day in Canada. Hosted by legendary sportscaster Ron MacLean at the Good Cheer Rink and the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound, Ontario, read on as we explain how to watch all the action from 2023 Hockey Day in Canada. Live stream online wherever you are.

Be sure to pace yourself appropriately, because your Molson Muscle is in line for quite a workout over the 14-and-a-half-hour broadcast, which begins with a clash between Team Scotiabank and Team Adidas at 11am ET / 10am CT / 8am PT, and ends with Hockey Night in Canada: After Hours with Scott Oake at 1am ET / 12am CT / 10pm PT.

Along the way, we'll be treated to four NHL clashes featuring all seven of the league's Canadian teams, though the Jets vs Senators and Maple Leafs vs Canadiens games are both set to begin at 7pm ET / 6pm CT / 4pm PT. The full 2023 Hockey Day in Canada schedule is listed below.

Meanwhile, in Owen Sound, action from the women’s Ontario University Athletics clash between the Waterloo Warriors and Guelph Gryphons, and the Ontario Hockey League matchup between the Peterborough Petes and Owen Sound Attack, will fill the gaps nicely.

Hockey Day in Canada is, as its name suggests, only a thing in Canada. As such, if you try to watch the event from somewhere outside Canada, you'll soon find a problem - geo-blocking.

That's where the broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad. It's a common problem for streamers all over the world, but there's an easy solution that can also help you get around blackout restrictions that sometimes apply to regular NHL games.

NHL returns to Fenway Park for the 14th edition of the Winter Classic. The iconic stadium is the first venue to host the event twice, and there's no pressure on the Penguins, who are marking one year under the ownership of Boston-based Fenway Sports Group. The rink will run parallel to the Green Monster but let's hope no pucks cannon over the top of it. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2023 NHL Winter Classic live stream online wherever you are.

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang all played in the first ever Winter Classic back in 2008, helping fire the Penguins to a 2-1 shootout victory over the Sabres. However, 11 years have passed since their last appearance in the fixture, a 3-1 defeat to the Capitals, and Mike Sullivan's men will be desperate to impress their owners in their famous backyard.

Beating the Bruins would be one heck of a flex. Doing so in Boston would be even better, then throw in the New Year and the FSG factor, and you get a sense of the size and importance of the occasion. 

Not only are the Bruins dominating the Eastern Atlantic division, but their record is by far the best in the NHL this season. Jim Montgomery has turned his men into stonecold killers, and they'd love to kick off 2023 the same way they ended 2022. Boston was on the winning team the first time the Winter Classic was played at Fenway Park, beating the Flyers 2-1 in overtime.

Read on for details on how to get a 2023 NHL Winter Classic live stream so you can watch Pittsburgh Penguins vs Boston Bruins online from anywhere.

We passed the midway point of the NHL season last week, and getting over the hump seems to have reinvigorated a few teams, most notably the Kraken and the Devils, who are making things very interesting in the Western Pacific and the Eastern Metropolitan. The Bruins still have far and away the best record in the league, but Seattle has shown that they can be beaten. 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.

The Kraken's eight-game winning streak provided plenty of talking points, the biggest one of all being that they're capable of beating the very best. With the Bruins on course for once of the most dominant regular seasons of all time, there's a small but growing sense that they could peak before the real fun begins with the playoffs.

Seattle's victory, the first by any TD Garden visitor in regulation time this season, therefore felt like a very big deal. And building on that, the Lightning had shown signs of sparking back into life over recent weeks, but bringing the Kraken's run to an end has wiped away any lingering doubts. The Bolts are legitimate contenders again.

After a dreadful end to 2022, which looked like it might derail their entire season, the Devils have returned to form, stringing together five consecutive victories – including statement wins over the Hurricanes and Rangers – that have electrified the Eastern Metropolitan.

Read on for details on how to get a 2022/23 NHL live stream no matter where you are in the world. You might want to try a VPN if you're looking to tune in while abroad.

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.

The best VPNs 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.

Reigning champions Netherlands take on Australia in a blockbuster first semi-final of the 2022 Women's Hockey World Cup, and the Hockeyroos are sure to prove popular with the Terrassa locals after ending the Red Sticks' hopes in midweek. They're both undefeated in the tournament so far. Read on as we explain how to get a Netherlands vs Australia live stream and watch this Women's Hockey World Cup semi-final from anywhere in the world.

The Aussies have the best defensive record in the tournament. Katrina Powell's side have conceded just once, against South Africa in their final pool game, and Jocelyn Bartram has been in fine form between the sticks.

However, the Netherlands are no ordinary opponent. Only Argentina have notched more than the 13 that the Oranje have scored, and most menacing of all is the spread of goals throughout the team. Nine of the Dutch contingent have found the net, with Freeke Moes' freak strike proving decisive in their thrilling 2-1 victory over neighbors Belgium.

However, it was Jamilon Mülders' team's least convincing performance of the tournament. What's more, the Netherlands are yet to experience anything remotely like the scorching heat of Terrassa, which is where all of Australia's games have been staged.

Could the elements swing this one in the Aussies' favor? Follow our guide as we explain how to watch a Netherlands vs Australia live stream at the 2022 FIH Women's Hockey World Cup.

Germany could be in for a rude awakening in their 2022 Women's Hockey World Cup semi-final showdown with Argentina. By far and away the competition's top scorers, Las Leonas have had a fortnight to acclimatize to the brutal conditions of Terrassa, whereas Die Danas have played all of their fixtures in the relative comfort of Amstelveen, where it's been around 16 degrees Celsius cooler. How will they adjust?Read on as we explain how to get a Germany vs Argentina live stream and watch this Women's Hockey World Cup semi-final from anywhere in the world.

Valentin Altenburg will almost certainly set his team up to defend deep and hit Argentina on the break, which will suit the Germans down to the ground. They tightened things up after their 3-1 defeat to the Netherlands and haven't conceded since, though they haven't been leaving themselves any margin for error either.

Agustina Gorzelany has scored almost as many as the entire Germany team combined. Her six strikes make her the World Cup's joint top-scorer. But Victoria Granatto was the match-winner against England in the quarters, finishing a beautiful team move with aplomb.

Germany would have been very interested spectators for that clash, which saw England completely hand the initiative to Argentina and almost pull the gameplan off. The reigning FIH Pro League champions were frustrated and uncharacteristically profligate in front of goal, and might have been heading home early if it wasn't for some Belén Succi heroics.

This looks set to be a game of chess, so follow our guide as we explain how to watch a Germany vs Argentina live stream at the 2022 FIH Women's Hockey World Cup.

The Avs are one win away from their first Stanley Cup since 2001, after a finale that could go down in NHL lore. On his comeback less than three weeks after hand surgery, Nazem Kadri scored a spectacular winner in overtime to send the Colorado roster into delirium, and push the Bolts to the brink of their first Stanley Cup series defeat in more than three years. There's plenty of fight still left in Jon Cooper, so read on as we explain how to watch a Tampa Bay Lightning vs Colorado Avalanche live stream and see the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Game 5 online from wherever you are.

Most people weren't even expecting Kadri to make the bench, let alone win the game, and the puck getting stuck in the roof of the net to keep us all guessing made an instantly iconic moment wilder still. Cooper wasn't happy about Nathan MacKinnon still being on the ice when Kadri received the puck, but it was far from unusual, and most of the Lightning players saw it differently to their coach.

Teams down 3-1 in best-of-seven Stanley Cup Finals series are 1-35 over the years, but that'll mean nothing to the Bolts, who are are out to prove that they're a once-in-a-generation team. The two-time defending champions have a chance to do what no other franchise has done since the great New York Islanders dynasty of the '80s - win back-to-back-to-back titles.

The Avs are good closers but the Lightning don't know when they're beaten. They looked down and out against the Maple leafs in the first round but overturned a 3-2 deficit to advance, and they looked done in the ECF against the Rangers before a magnificent turnaround. Can they do it on the biggest stage of all?

It's all on the line at Ball Arena tonight, so read on for all you need to know to get a Lightning vs Avalanche live stream online so you can watch the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Game 5 from wherever you are in the world.

How quickly the momentum shifts. The Bolts jolted back into life with a 6-2 win on Monday, halving the series deficit and tripling their Stanley Cup Finals goal count. Having looked like they'd run away with the series, it's now the Colorado Avalanche who need to answer the critics. Their first road defeat of the 2022 playoffs has come at a very tricky time. Do they have the character to wrestle back control at Amalie? Read on as we explain how to watch a Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning live stream and get the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Game 4 online from wherever you are.

A goalie dilemma is the last thing Jared Bednar needed right now, but Darcy Kuemper has left him with a decision to make. The Avs' first choice had to be taken out of the firing line after conceding five goals from 22 attempts in a disastrous 18 minutes of play, and Pavel Francouz looked a lot more solid when he came on. The Canadian stopper tends to bounce back fast from bad performances, but the Amalie crowd will be on top of him from the word go.

Whoever gets the nod will be hoping that Game 4 comes too soon for Nikita Kucherov, who laid on two assists on Monday before leaving the rink early after a late cross-check by Devon Toews. Brayden Point also looks unlikely for the Lightning, while Avalanche star Nazem Kadri is said to be nearing a return after undergoing thumb surgery last month.

With the Lightning suddenly in the ascendancy, the Avs need to focus on their game and not the occasion. Read on for all you need to know to get an Avalanche vs Lightning live stream online so you can watch the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals Game 4 from wherever you are in the world.

Commemorative jerseys, one of the biggest crowds in NHL history, and a whole load of awesome honky-tonk pageantry are just some of the attractions on show as the Nashville Predators host their first ever outdoor NHL regular season game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It promises to be one of the best spectacles of the season, so read on as we explain how to watch the NHL Stadium Series live stream online wherever you are.

The Preds are on course for a spot in the playoffs, but things have become a little rocky of late. John Hynes' men have had a tough February, their 6-4 victory over the Panthers ending a run of four straight defeats, including particularly damaging ones against the Stars and Jets. 

That they face the reigning champions on what should be a day of celebration in Nashville could be a blessing or a curse. The Bolts have won three in a row since falling to the all-conquering Avalanche, and will be well-rested for their trip north.

Of course, there's plenty more to look forward to besides the battle on the ice. Country music stars Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley will be performing live at Nissan Stadium, and there's got to be a tribute to Pekka Rinne, Smashville's legendary goaltender and all-time leader in wins whose No. 35 jersey was retired on Thursday.

Can I watch 2022 NHL Stadium Series in Australia?

Foxtel channel ESPN and the excellent sports streaming service Kayo Sports are usually the places to watch the NHL Down Under, but sadly there's no confirmed broadcaster for the 2022 NHL Stadium Series in Australia at the time of writing. 

The only alternative is to use one of the best VPN service providers to tap into coverage from another nation, as described above.

The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the country the service is from.

The National Hockey League's Las Vegas takeover promises one of the most entertaining NHL All-Star Weekends ever, from a face-off in the Fountains of Bellagio to blackjack on the Strip and, of course, the All-Star Game itself. It's time for showboating and for pure, outrageous skill to take center stage, so read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 NHL All-Star Game live stream online wherever you are.

The Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews captains the Atlantic Division team; the Flyers' Claude Giroux leads the Metropolitan Division; the Jets' Kyle Connor takes charge of the Central Division team; while Connor McDavid of the Oilers skippers the Pacific Division team.

Connor has both Cale Makar and Kirill Kaprizov on his team, which could either produce glorious fireworks or a hilarious horror show, and that's exactly what the All-Star Weekend's about.

The Skills Competition is being held a day ahead of the mini tournament, which follows a 3-on-3, single-elimination format, and you can read on for details on how to get an NHL All-Star Game live stream and watch the game online, no matter where you are in the world right now.

NHL All-Star Skills Competition 2022

The 2022 All-Star Skills Competition is being held on Friday, February 4, starting at 7.30pm ET / 6.30pm CT / 4.30pm PT. This year it will encompass seven events, two of which will take over world-famous Las Vegas landmarks.

An ice rink has been built into the Fountains of Bellagio for the Fountain Face-Off, in which eight competitors will aim to shoot pucks into five targets in the fastest time - after being rowed to the rink, naturally.

Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Strip will be partly shut down for a giant game of blackjack involving pucks and giant cards.

And, of course, there are the old favorites Fastest Skater, Hardest Shot, Breakaway Challenge, Accuracy Shooting, and Save Streak.

They say Lightning never strikes the same place twice, but after beating the Montreal Canadiens in five games in July, Tampa Bay could become the first team to pull off a three-peat since the New York Islanders, who won four in a row from 1980 to '83. Read on as we explain how to watch an NHL live stream online wherever you are for every game of the 2021/22 season.

After two consecutive shortened campaigns, the NHL returns to its traditional format, albeit with a midseason break for the Winter Olympics. Though the addition of expansion franchise the Seattle Kraken promises to make this the biggest season ever, with 32 teams each playing 82 regular season games!

The Buffalo Sabres made defenceman Owen Power the first overall pick in the draft, the Canadian teenager adding his considerable weight behind the franchise's efforts to slake the league's longest ongoing post-season drought.

The Pittsburgh Penguins, meanwhile, have their work cut out extending their 15-season playoff streak, with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin missing the start of the season, and likely more than just a few games.  

And, of course, Alex Ovechkin's steady march towards Wayne Gretzky's 894-goal record is the subplot we're all going to be following week by week.

How to watch NHL blackout games and more with a VPN

Whether you’re watching hockey online or on TV, blackouts can be especially annoying as you won’t be able to watch your local games, and you won't be able to tune in at all when you’re out of the country.

A VPN will allow you to change your IP address so that you appear to be in a completely different location where the game you want to watched isn't blacked out, and let you access the content and services you already pay for back home no matter where you are.

VPNs are ridiculously easy to set up and use and aren't just for watching sports from abroad - they're also a great first line of defence for your online activity and many people use them to get around other geo-blocked websites or to access foreign Netflix content.

We’ve tested hundreds of VPNs and can recommend ExpressVPN as the very best VPN currently available.

It's Canada vs the US; the NHL's most successful franchise vs the reigning champions; Canadiens vs Lightning in this blockbuster Stanley Cup Final clash. While all signs are pointing towards a thunderous success for Tampa Bay, Montreal managed to claw a win from the jaws of defeat to bring the series 3-1, and still have a fighting chance. Here, we explain how to get a Canadiens vs Lightning live stream and watch the Stanley Cup Final 2021 online from anywhere.

The drought in the Great White North has raged for 28 years, the Canadiens' 1993 triumph - their 24th overall - marking the last time The Holy Grail was carried off to Canada. Can Montreal make it rain again? The Habs have been underdogs throughout, and true to form, they're up against it again, with Dominique Ducharme set to miss at least the first two games of the series, after his positive Covid test.

His opposite number, meanwhile, is hoping to become just the 12th coach to lift the trophy in two consecutive seasons. The Lightning boast the playoffs' leading goal and points scorers, in Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, as well as the best goaltender in the league, in Andrei Vasilevskiy.

However, as they've already proved on so many occasions, the Canadiens are much more than the sum of their parts. Read on for details on how to watch the Canadiens vs Lightning online and get a 2021 Stanley Cup Final live stream from anywhere.

Scroll down for all the ways you can watch the Canadiens vs Lightning online in a number of countries around the world - including the US and Canada. But first, you should know that if you're abroad at any point during the series, you probably won't be able to watch the Stanley Cup Final like you normally would at home.

This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that means certain streaming services are only accessible in the region they're based in. The simplest and most reliable solution is to use a VPN service to change your IP address to a different location. This will generally let you tune in to your local coverage, just as you would from home, and means you don't have to trawl the sketchier corners of the internet for an illegal stream.

The 2020 NHL season, playoffs and Stanley Cup will long be remembered as one of the most unusual ever, with representatives from Texas and Florida duking it out on the ice in Edmonton. And after almost two months living in the NHL's bubble in Canada, the Tampa Bay Lightning have the chance (again) tonight of claiming hockey's big one.

Follow our guide to watch a Stars vs Lightning live stream and catch the climax of the 2020 Stanley Cup Final series online no matter where you are - it's even ABSOLUTELY FREE to do so in some regions.

Nobody expected the Stars to get anywhere near the final, yet here they are, having disposed of Western Conference top seeds the Vegas Golden Knights in just five games. It's their first Stanley Cup Final in more than 20 years, and after upset after upset in the postseason it's hard to imagine anything other then yet another inspiring underdog effort from Rick Bowness' men.

Bowness has been on the losing side of a Stanley Cup Final twice, most recently in 2015, when he was the Lightning and Jon Cooper's assistant coach. Coop and Bones share an excellent relationship, and surely that interim tag hanging over the Stars coach will be struck out soon enough.

The Lightning needed six games to knock out the New York Islanders, and Cooper's men are out to banish the specter of 2019, when they were fell at the first hurdle of the playoffs straight after securing a record-tying 62-win season. If they're to go all the way, they need to find a way to stop the Stars' defensemen, especially Miro Heiskanen, who've been scoring for fun in the postseason.

Steven Stamkos is still out of action for the Lightning but looks like he could return before the end of the series. And it wouldn't be a moment too soon as Brayden Point, who's stepped up heroically in his absence, looks in need of a rest. Fortunately for Tampa Bay, their defensemen are also chipping in at the front.

It's all or nothing, so read on as we explain how to watch the Stars vs Lightning online and get a Stanley Cup Final NHL live stream from anywhere in the world right now.
