The schedule for United National broadcasts for NHL games by team, and with that one team was left licking their wounds, of sorts.

The Montreal Canadiens are the lone team with zero televised games in accordance to the recent announcement.

The Senators and Jets are tied for the second fewest, with one apiece for the respective organizations.

Here's a breakdown of how each team benefits, via instagram.

Here's an explanation, as cited on NHL.com:

ESPN will televise a season-opening doubleheader Oct. 11, when the New York Rangers host the Tampa Bay Lightning at Madison Square Garden (7:30 p.m. ET) before the Vegas Golden Knights visit the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena (10 p.m. ET).

Other highlights include the New Jersey Devils at the Philadelphia Flyers on Oct. 13 (7 p.m. ET; ESPN+, HULU) in John Tortorella's debut as Flyers coach, Johnny Gaudreau's return to Calgary when the Columbus Blue Jackets visit the Flames on Jan. 23 (9:30 p.m. ET; ESPN+, HULU), and a Stanley Cup rematch when the Lightning host the Colorado Avalanche on Feb. 9 (7 p.m. ET; ESPN).

ESPN will televise the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills presented by DraftKings on Feb 3 and the Honda NHL All-Star Game from FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, the following day. It will also televise the 2023 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series between the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Feb. 18 (8 p.m. ET).

ABC will televise games beginning in February following the All-Star Game, including doubleheaders Feb. 11, March 4 and March 11, and a tripleheader April 8.

ESPN, the NHL and The Walt Disney Co. agreed to a seven-year television, streaming and media rights deal March 10, 2021, that includes exclusive coverage of the Stanley Cup Final on ABC in four of its seven years with the ability to simulcast on ESPN+ and additional ESPN networks.

With that said, which teams do you feel got the short of the stick?
