Amazon Prime is expanding its presence in the sports world by introducing “Prime Monday Night Hockey.” This move follows the success of their “Thursday Night Football” program and includes their ongoing collaboration with the NHL, such as producing a documentary about NHL stars, including Jack Eichel.
Prime members in the United States and Canada can watch these hockey games at no additional cost. The “Monday Night Hockey” schedule will feature teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs, allowing fans to see their favorite players, such as Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid, compete in various exciting matchups. Vegas Golden Knights fans should keep an eye out for future games involving their team.
The inaugural “Prime Monday Night Hockey” game is set for October 14, 2024, featuring the Montreal Canadiens against the Pittsburgh Penguins. This game will showcase the talents of Sidney Crosby and the Canadiens, a team with a storied history of 24 championships. It’s an excellent way to highlight some of the NHL’s best players, especially a generational talent like Crosby.
The schedule also includes games like the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Maple Leafs vs. the Winnipeg Jets. Although no games involving the Vegas Golden Knights have been announced this season, fans can look forward to potential future matchups.
For hockey enthusiasts, this provides a fantastic opportunity to watch top-tier players with their Prime memberships, offering a great way to unwind from the stresses of work and everyday life. Watching players like Auston Matthews and rising star Connor Bedard can be a delightful escape from reality.
There is hope that the Vegas Golden Knights will be included in future broadcasts. Their memorable games, such as the 2023 playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers, highlight the thrilling competition fans can expect. Seeing matchups between stars like Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel would be a significant draw. Even without current Golden Knights games, Prime remains a valuable platform for following and scouting teams in the Pacific Division throughout the season.
