Two series come down to one game tonight. The Phillies forced a Game 3 in Atlanta and the Fever forced one in Las Vegas, so by midnight two teams are out and two move on. In between, the Steelers and Browns play a short-week division game, and the NHL’s second night fills in around them.
EntitledSports will publish a daily round-up of all the major games available through streaming and terrestrial broadcast tv or cable for sports fans. You can find the full schedules and ways to watch on the entitledsports.com/schedule.
TB Lightning @ NY Rangers — 7:00 PM ET
NHL · Watch on MSG Network, TVAS, MSG+, ESPN+
The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the New York Rangers, the first game of the season for both and the only thing tonight that starts before 8PM ET. Two of the bigger brands, at the Garden, on night 2 of a season that runs until June. Nothing gets learned in October, which has never stopped anyone from watching.
PHI Phillies @ ATL Braves — 8:00 PM ET
MLB · Watch on NBC, Peacock
Alec Bohm kept the No. 6 Philadelphia Phillies alive with a 4-3 win in ten innings on Wednesday, so a series Atlanta led after one game now comes down to a Game 3.
PIT Steelers @ CLE Browns — 8:15 PM ET
NFL · Watch on Prime Video
The Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) go to face the Cleveland Browns (2-1) on a short week, four days after Pittsburgh needed a 30-27 win in Cincinnati. Two teams with identical records, in a division where the games between them decide everything, on a Thursday neither one asked for.
IND Fever @ LVA Aces — 9:00 PM ET
WNBA · Watch on USA Network, CNBC
The other winner-take-all game is in Las Vegas, where the No. 6 Indiana Fever forced a Game 3 after a 99-89 win at home. The No. 3 Las Vegas Aces were the higher seed and the defending champions, and they are now one loss from the offseason. Game 2 got heated, which usually means the series got close.
EDM Oilers @ VAN Canucks — 10:00 PM ET
NHL · Watch on SNP, SN1, ESPN+
The Edmonton Oilers close the night against the Vancouver Canucks, the last game on the board and the one still going after the East Coast has gone to bed. Two Canadian markets that genuinely dislike each other, on the second night of the season, with nothing at stake except the part where it counts.
