Jets vs Canucks live stream: Can you watch for free?

Add as a preferred source on Google

A crucial matchup in the battle for the top seed in the West, the Vancouver Canucks host the Winnipeg Jets tonight. Though the Stars are also in contention, the winner of tonight’s all-Canada showdown will take a big step towards securing home-ice advantage in the playoffs.

If you’re looking to watch the game, you’re just in time. It starts at 10:00 p.m. ET, and in the United States it won’t be on TV anywhere, but you can watch a live stream on ESPN+.

The bad news? In the US, the Jets vs Canucks is only available on ESPN+, which doesn’t come with a free trial. The good news? ESPN+ is only $11 per month (or $110 for the year), which is an incredible value if you’re an NHL fan.

For those who live in the United States, a subscription to ESPN+ will get you every single out-of-market NHL game. This weekend alone, there are 13 Saturday games and two Sunday games that you can watch. We’re not going to do the math, but the price/game ratio for a month is miniscule. It’s a no-brainer if you want to watch even a little big of NHL action throughout the season.

There’s more live sports, too–college hockey and other NCAA sports, UFC, boxing, PGA Tour, and if you enjoy soccer, there’s every single game for Bundesliga, La Liga, FA Cup and Copa del Rey. There’s also documentaries, original shows and more on-demand content, so even if you ever stop watching NHL action, there’s plenty to keep you busy.

When Apple launched its streaming service in 2019, the entertainment world treated it with polite skepticism. Fast forward to 2026, Apple is now on the verge of securing an EGOT, the coveted sweep of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony, after picking up its first-ever Tony Award nominations.

The tech giant earned 12 nods for Schmigadoon!, a stage adaptation of its original Apple TV musical series. With wins already under its belt for television and film, all eyes are now on the June 7 ceremony to see if Apple can complete the prestigious sweep.

5 great Netflix shows to watch on New Year’s Day and beyond
The cast of XO Kitty.

New Year’s Day is one of the easiest days to end up scrolling Netflix without actually committing to anything. The problem isn’t a lack of options, but choosing something that fits how you’re likely to watch, which usually means a show that starts quickly or keeps a steady rhythm without demanding too much attention.

Whether you’re recovering from a late night or just easing into a slower start to the year, the right show can do most of the work for you. This list narrows it down to five that are particularly effective right now, not just because they’re popular, but because they’re built for this kind of viewing. Some are structured for fast, high-retention binges, others are easier to sit with, and a couple justify a more focused watch if you’re in the mood to engage. Each one fits the kind of momentum that makes getting through a full season or a limited series feel natural, whether it’s today or any other day you want something that holds up without effort.
