In-market vs. out-of-market Canadiens games
If you live in the Montreal area: Most games air inside the team's home territory on its regional network or a local broadcast station (some teams have moved to free over-the-air partners or their own app). National games air on ESPN/ABC or TNT/truTV, streaming on ESPN+ / HBO Max.
If you live elsewhere: In the US, out-of-market games stream on ESPN+, which is why almost every game lists ESPN+. Local games are blacked out on ESPN+ inside the teams' home markets; NHL Center Ice is the cable/satellite option.
