2016 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Conference Semifinals TV Schedule

The 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs continue with Conference Semifinal action among the eight teams remaining.

All series are Best 4-out-of-7.

The networks of NBC — NBC, NBCSN, CNBC and USA — will broadcast all the action in the United States.

For the playoffs’ first round, regional sports networks in the teams’ respective markets were also able to televise their versions of the games. However, beginning with this upcoming playoff round, the networks of NBC will air every playoff game exclusively.

Three-time Emmy Award-winning play-by-play commentator Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame member and analyst Eddie Olczyk, and Emmy Award-winning ‘Inside-the-Glass’ analyst Pierre McGuire will serve as the lead commentary team throughout the postseason and into the Stanley Cup Final. NBC Sports Group’s first-round broadcast teams will also include Hockey Hall of Fame play-by-play announcer Pat Foley, and analysts Eddie Olczyk and Joe Micheletti.
