Prime Video and NHL Productions will host "NHL Coast To Coast", a weekly whiparound style show live on Thursday nights in Canada featuring live look-ins, highlights, and expert analysis.
There is also a docuseries coming from the producers of Netflix's Drive to Survive. It will follow around many of the league's top players.
