From a league standpoint, there are a lot of changes happening on the broadcast front at the moment, which makes it quite topical. The biggest shift would be switching from linear broadcasts to streaming services. While the NFL, MLB, and NBA have all renewed their national agreements, the league has obviously not yet done so. The NBA is currently in the process of doing so. We’ll see what happens from that, but my prediction is that you’ll start to see a mix of linear and streaming bundles available when the NHL deal (2026) and our (regional) deal (2026) come due — definitely within the next ten years.
With two victories in a row, New Jersey’s Tyler Toffoli scored on a power play. With 27 saves, Nico Daws was excellent in goal. He made amazing glove stops on Adrian Kempe in the second period and on Kopitar in the first.
In the chippy game, defenseman Brandt Clarke’s slap shot from the right point proved to be the winner. Byfield tried to tip the shot, but his 17th goal came from the rebound that found its way into the goal. With two victories in a row, New Jersey’s Tyler Toffoli scored on a power play.

After putting in the rebound of Jesper Bratt’s shot, Toffoli, who played for the Kings from 2013 to 2020 and won a Stanley Cup with them in 2014, knotted the score at 12:58. He scored his 23rd goal of the season.
Toffoli enjoyed the Devils’ style of play.
“But ultimately, especially given where we are, you need points and to move up the standings,” he remarked. “So, we can and will view it positively, I think. However, we also had to be aware in the back of our thoughts that we needed to win these close games.
The return of veteran forward Viktor Arvidsson, who had five shots in over 16 minutes on the ice, gave the struggling Kings a boost. He missed the first 50 games after undergoing back surgery in October.
“It has been a long and arduous journey back, and it was truly pleasant to return to the field and experience the competitiveness and other aspects of being a member of the team and sitting on the bench,” the 30-year-old remarked.The return of veteran forward Viktor Arvidsson, who had five shots in over 16 minutes on the ice, gave the struggling Kings a boost.
