NHL Regional Blackouts Explained
If you are streaming the game on ESPN+ or Sportsnet+, you may run into regional blackouts. Blackouts occur because local sports networks (like Victory+ or Prime) hold the exclusive broadcast rights within a team’s home market. If you live in the Dallas or Toronto TV markets, you must watch the game on your local channel rather than the out-of-market streaming platforms. A premium VPN service can occasionally bypass these restrictions, but it’s always best to check your local listings first.
2025-26 Season Overview, Records & Injuries
The two teams are heading in entirely different directions as the playoffs approach.
Team Records & Last Game:
The Dallas Stars boast an elite 48-20-12 record (108 points) and currently sit 2nd in the Central Division. They are riding a 3-game win streak. Conversely, the Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled significantly, holding a 32-34-14 record (78 points) to sit 8th in the Atlantic Division. They are mired in a 5-game losing streak, having recently suffered a 6-2 blowout loss to the Florida Panthers.
Leading Scorers:
Dallas has been powered offensively by Jason Robertson (94 points, 44 goals) and Wyatt Johnston (85 points). Toronto, despite missing key firepower, has leaned on William Nylander who is coming off a 2-goal game and John Tavares.
Key Injuries:
Both teams are limping to the finish line with massive injury lists.
- Maple Leafs: Auston Matthews (knee – out for season), Anthony Stolarz (out for season), Chris Tanev (abdomen – out for season), Brandon Carlo, and Dakota Joshua.
- Stars: Tyler Seguin (ACL – out for season), Miro Heiskanen (lower body), Roope Hintz (lower body), Michael Bunting, and Sam Steel.
My Personal Insight & Score Prediction
Looking at the betting odds, it’s no surprise that Dallas is the heavy favorite at -170, with the Over/Under set at 6.5. Personally, I can’t see Toronto keeping pace in this one. Even with the Stars missing big names like Seguin, Heiskanen, and Hintz, their depth with Robertson and Johnston has proven too much to handle. Toronto’s defense is entirely depleted, and without Auston Matthews to outscore their defensive woes, I think betting the Over and taking Dallas on the puck line is the smartest play here. Give me a 5-2 Dallas victory tonight.
Finding the Dallas Stars on TV today is simple with Victory+ and ESPN+, while checking the Toronto Maple Leafs TV schedule is vital for navigating TSN4 blackouts.
