NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman Reschedules Games Sparking Major Controversy

The National Hockey League and its broadcast partners have announced several upcoming changes to game schedules in the new year, impacting how fans can watch their favorite teams.

With today's schedule changes for the NHL, here's how the league's schedule now compares to the NBA's on ABC (excluding Christmas Day):

NHL: 19 Games (20 with All-Star Game)
NBA: 21 Games (5 of which are Wednesday Night Games)

These changes seem to be driven largely by the current standings in the league, with a focus on featuring games between the strongest teams more prominently on national broadcasts.

Here's a list of the changes made by the NHL courtesy of ESPN:

Overall, we're not sure if these changes are positive, and it remains to be seen if this trend continues throughout the season.
