How to Watch
Most cable or satellite providers will have both the ESPN family of networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ABC) and the Turner Broadcasting family of networks (TNT, TBS, truTV). If you have access to all of these networks, you should be set for the entire playoffs. Below are streaming TV providers that have all of these networks:
- DirectTV Stream
- Hulu + Live TV
- Sling TV
- YouTube TV
If you are in the Devils local market, you will also have the option to watch the Devils broadcast on MSG Networks during Round 1. This would be no different from how you watched them during the regular season. However, if a round 1 game ends up on ABC, a Devils broadcast wouldn’t be available for that game.
