The Seattle Kraken begin their first season in the NHL against the previous expansion team, the Vegas Golden Knights, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada at 10:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday night. It’s the first two games of the 2021-22 NHL season and a matchup between the last two expansion franchises in the League.

The NHL has a new broadcast partner. It’s the first time since 2003 that ESPN will be broadcasting NHL games. You can watch the game on ESPN and ESPN+, as well as on the WatchESPN app. You can also get a trial from YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Stream, FuboTV, or Sling TV to stream the game.

The over/under is 5.5, which is generally the norm for NHL games. The Golden Knights are tied for the second-best odds to win the Stanley Cup at +700.
