The NHL on TSN (formerly Molson NHL Tonight on TSN or The NHL Tonight on TSN) is TSN's broadcast of National Hockey League games. The show's current incarnation debuted in 2002. Its coverage includes national broadcasts of NHL games during the regular season on several nights per week, regional coverage of the Montreal Canadiens and the Winnipeg Jets, along with coverage of select series during the first, second, and third rounds of the playoffs.

TSN's NHL coverage of NHL games is not limited to its own broadcasts, as sister network TSN2 also frequently shows coverage of games televised by the NBC Sports Network.

TSN usually televises three or four games per week during the regular season, with their primary night being Wednesdays, when they enjoy exclusive coverage. This means that no other NHL game may be broadcast in Canada while TSN's Wednesday Night Hockey is on the air.

During the playoffs, TSN has third, fifth, seventh, and eighth choices of first-round series, second and fourth in the second round, and second in the Conference Finals. This means that there is the possibility of TSN covering a Canadian team during the playoffs. This happened during the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, as TSN televised the Calgary Flames' first-round series against the Chicago Blackhawks and in the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs when the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Washington Capitals in seven games.

He was the Assistant General Manager of the Washington Capitals from 1979 until his death in 1996. Craig's brother Tod was an assistant coach with the Washington Capitals and is currently the Director of Scouting with the Calgary Flames. The Button family moved to Montreal in 1975 when Jack was hired by NHL President Clarence Campbell to institute and manage the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.

Neil Ellwood Peart ( /ˈpɪərt/; born September 12, 1952), OC, is a Canadian musician and author. He is the drummer and lyricist for the rock band Rush. Peart has received numerous awards for his musical performances, and is known for his technical proficiency and stamina.

Peart grew up in Port Dalhousie, Ontario (now part of St. Catharines). During adolescence, he floated from regional band to regional band in pursuit of a career as a full-time drummer. After a discouraging stint in England to concentrate on his music, Peart returned home, where he joined a local Toronto band, Rush, in the summer of 1974.

Early in his career, Peart's performance style was deeply rooted in hard rock. He drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon and John Bonham, players who were at the forefront of the British hard rock scene. As time passed, however, he began to emulate jazz and big band musicians Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. In 1994, Peart became a friend and pupil of jazz instructor Freddie Gruber. It was during this time that Peart decided to revamp his playing style by incorporating jazz and swing components. Gruber was also responsible for introducing him to the products of Drum Workshop, the company whose products Peart currently endorses.

Tyler Seguin (born January 31, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player currently playing right wing for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected second overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Bruins. He finished the regular season with 29 goals, the most on the team. He finished the season with a plus minus of 34, the second highest in the NHL, next to Patrice Bergeron with a plus minus of 36.

Tyler Seguin played the first seven years of his minor hockey career with the Whitby Wildcats of the OMHA before relocating to Brampton, Ontario at age 13. While in Brampton, he played 3 years for the Toronto Young Nationals, coached by Rick Vaive before moving on to the OHL. His favorite player as a kid was Steve Yzerman, to whom his playing style has been compared.

Seguin was selected 9th overall in the 2008 OHL Priority Selection Draft by the Plymouth Whalers. He considered playing for a NCAA school like his father, but chose to forgo his American college eligibility by joining the Whalers in 2008–09. He struggled to begin his OHL career, scoring one goal in his first 17 games before a coaching change in Plymouth helped Seguin find his place in the league. After new coach Mike Vellucci moved Seguin to the top line, the 17-year-old forward broke out offensively, scoring 58 points in his final 41 games and helped Plymouth reach the second round of the OHL playoffs.
