TNT Sports to Exclusively Present Discover NHL Winter Classic – St. Louis Blues vs. Chicago Blackhawks – Tuesday, Dec. 31 at 5 p.m. ET

TNT Sports' networks and platforms will be the exclusive U.S. home of the Discover NHL Winter Classic on New Year's Eve at 5 p.m. on TNT and Max, with NHL DataCast powered by AWS available on truTV and an American Sign Language alternative telecast, NHL in ASL, available on Max.

Connor Bedard, the 2023 first overall draft pick and 2024 Calder Memorial Trophy winner, will make his outdoor game debut at legendary Wrigley Field, leading the Chicago Blackhawks in a battle against Central Division rivals Jordan Kyrou, goaltender Jordan Binnington and the St. Louis Blues.

TNT Sports' coverage will start with an hour-long NHL on TNT Face Off presented by Verizon pregame at 4 p.m. featuring analysts Wayne Gretzky, Paul Bissonnette, Anson Carter and host Liam McHugh. The show will emanate from Barnburner, a hockey-focused fan experience around Wrigley Field, which will also include a headlining musical performance by multi-platinum singer and songwriter Jon Pardi on The SAP Stage.

The traditional telecast on TNT and Max will be called by the commentary team of:

• Kenny Albert, providing play-by-play for his fourth NHL Winter Classic and seventh outdoor NHL game;
• Eddie Olczyk, calling his 14^th NHL Winter Classic and 26^th overall NHL outdoor game;
• Brian Boucher, providing ice-level analysis for his second NHL Winter Classic and his sixth appearance in an NHL outdoor game.

TNT will give viewers unprecedented access throughout the Winter Classic, including on-ice interviews from Darren Pang (in his ninth NHL Winter Classic appearance) and additional reporting throughout Wrigley Field from Jackie Redmond in her third NHL Winter Classic appearance.

This year's Winter Classic will also include the NHL DataCast powered by AWS - an analytics-driven alternative viewing experience on truTV and Max. The broadcast will use cutting edge data and real-time in-depth insights from NHL EDGE positional data (NHL Puck and Player Tracking) to provide deeper context and understanding of how statistics are utilized by players, coaches and front offices across the National Hockey League. NHL EDGE IQ powered by AWS advanced analytics -- including Face-Off Probability, Opportunity Analysis and Ice Tilt -- will also be featured. John Forslund will provide play-by-play for NHL DataCast powered by AWS, along with commentary from World Championship gold medalist Colby Armstrong and Mike Kelly, NHL Network analyst and Director of Analytics and Insights for Sportlogiq.

NHL in ASL, an alternate telecast dedicated completely to the Deaf community using American Sign Language (ASL), will also be available for the Discover NHL Winter Classic, exclusively on Max in the U.S.

Postgame coverage will feature highlights and analysis, and interviews from key players on the winning team, as well as the presentation of the NHL on TNT Cocoa Cup to the Most Valuable Player of the game, selected by the TNT crew.
