Rogers announced Monday that, starting tonight, select NHL playoff games will be available in multiview mode, allowing Xfinity users to watch two games side-by-side on their televisions.
The free preview will start with the Colorado/Dallas (9:30 pm EST) and Edmonton/Los Angeles (10 pm EST) games. Tuesday will feature New Jersey/Carolina (6 pm EST), Ottawa/Toronto (7:30 pm EST), Florida/Tampa Bay (8:30 pm EST) and Minnesota/Las Vegas (11 pm EST). Wednesday will continue the Colorado/Dallas and Edmonton/Los Angeles series at the same times. Thursday will dish Florida/Tampa Bay (6:30 pm EST), Toronto/Ottawa (7 pm EST), Minnesota/Vegas (9 pm EST), and Winnipeg/St. Louis (9:30 pm EST). And Friday will feature Washington/Montreal (7 pm EST) and Carolina/New Jersey (8 pm EST).
“Rogers plans to continue building on its Rogers Xfinity Multiview experience, including the ability to watch up to four live events at the same time, increasing the number of sports, and the ability for customers to build their own Multiview experience,” the cable giant said in a press release.
The multiview feature isn’t new in the sports broadcast world. FuboTV late last year announced select Roku users can stream up to four games at a time.
Earlier this month, Rogers signed a mammoth 12-year, $11-billion deal with the NHL to broadcast the games through the 2037-38 season.
