The NHL's St. Louis Blues, which today announced their affiliation with the Evansville IceMen of the ECHL, announced today that 16 Blues games will be televised nationally during the 2012-13 season, beginning with NBC Sports Network's broadcast of the club's season opener on Thursday, Oct. 11 against the Colorado Avalanche.
NBC and the NBC Sports Network will combine to air 12 Blues games nationally. The other four games will be picked up by NHL Network. (The schedule of nationally-televised games and channel locations for NBC Sports Network and NHL Network across the Tri-State can be found after the jump.)
This season marks the second of a 10-year broadcast agreement between the NHL and the NBC Sports Group. It is the largest media rights deal in League history. In addition to airing more than 100 NHL games, the networks of NBC will also televise NHL All-Star Weekend, the NHL Winter Classic and Hockey Day in America.
The complete Blues television schedule, which will include all national broadcasts in addition to regional games from Fox Sports Midwest, is not yet available.
