How NHL viewing changes in Los Angeles
Out-of-market NHL usually shifts from the local RSN to ESPN+ coverage.
That swap can simplify the local side of the stack when you leave the team's home market.
What still stays in the stack
TNT, ABC, ESPN, and Max still matter for national and playoff windows.
What to watch for
The cost can look cleaner out of market while still missing some nationally exclusive nights if you underbuy.
