Hockey fans who enjoy accidentally imprinting the shape of their buttocks onto their couches have much to be excited about on Tuesday.
The NHL is bringing back Frozen Frenzy, where all 32 NHL teams play on the same night. All 16 games have a different start time, including a new puck drop every 15 minutes across 13 games over a three-hour span.
ESPN is airing three of those games nationally, including the Washington Capitals’ matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Caps-Flyers game kicks off the night with a start time an hour earlier than usual at 6 pm. The other two games on ESPN are the Colorado Avalanche vs. the Seattle Kraken at 8:30 pm, while the Los Angeles Kings take on the Vegas Golden Knights to close the night’s action at 11:00 pm.
