The Florida Panthers are one win away from their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, as they face off against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4 of the finals tonight. The Oilers are not only trying to keep their season alive, but they’re also trying to avoid history, as a win for the Panthers would mark the first sweep in the Stanley Cup finals since 1998.
Game 4 starts tonight at 8 p.m. ET. It will be televised on ABC in the United States, but if you’re looking for ways to stream the NHL playoffs without cable, here are some options for watching a live stream of the Panthers vs Oilers:
* Fubo (Pro channel package), YouTube TV (Base Plan), and DirecTV Stream (Entertainment channel package or above) all include ABC live in most markets in the US. They are more expensive long-term than some of the following options, but they all offer a free trial.
* ESPN+ is another option, and it costs just $11 per month. ESPN+ will also stream all of the remaining games in the series if it gets extended.
For those who are outside of the United States and don’t want to bother with international live-stream options, a virtual private network (VPN) is necessary. If you subscribe to NordVPN or another VPN service, you can hide your location and connect to a digital server in the US. This makes it look like you’re actually inside the country, thus letting you stream the game on any of the aforementioned streaming services.
