A total of 12 Minnesota Wild games will be nationally televised via NBCSN for the upcoming 2017-18 season, the team announced on Monday. Eight of the 12 games will be at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
The national broadcast schedule starts with the Wild’s season opener Oct. 5 against the Detroit Red Wings at the new Little Caesars Arena. Six of the 12 games are against divisional foes, including two February contests against the St. Louis Blues.
The addition to the national schedule also brings some start-time changes for three games. The game in Los Angeles on Dec. 5 will start at 9 p.m. CT, the game at home against the Red Wings on March 4 will start at 6 p.m. CT and the home game against division-rival Colorado on March 13 will start at 7:30 p.m. CT.
As of right now, all the nationally-televised Wild games are set for NBCSN with none slated for the main network NBC.
