from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,

The Detroit Red Wings have missed the playoffs for six consecutive seasons. But they still have plenty of appeal as a national television draw.

TNT and ESPN released their national television schedule Wednesday and the Red Wings appear 14 times on the two networks. The Red Wings will appear six times on TNT and eight times on ESPN or its affiliates. Sometimes, Detroit fans will need ESPN+ or Hulu to see their team.
