The NHL has released its national television schedule and the Winnipeg Jets will be featured prominently this season.

The Jets will make 21 appearances on CBC’S Hockey Night in Canada — only the Montreal Canadiens (28) and Toronto Maple Leafs (24) are featured more on CBC – and will appear five times on TSN, four times on French-language RDS, once on NBC/Versus and twice on the NHL Network-US.

And, fear not: although the new radio/TV agreement between the Jets and TSN has yet to be formally announced all the team’s games – including those not listed here on the national schedules – will be on the tube this season.

The Jets’ triumphant return to Winnipeg on Sunday, Oct. 9 at 4 p.m. will be seen on CBC across the country with the NHL Network bringing the game to U.S. viewers.
