They do, but I believe it is subject to local team blackouts (exclusive to Diamond sports cable channel)... Would be nice if they were somehow able to provide streaming of local teams!

Most likely Netflix wouldn’t avoid blackouts if the NHL app has them. The cable companies make deals years in advance and blackouts are part of them

Blackouts are such bullshit. I just wanna watch baseball, but I'm not gonna pay for fucking cable.
