NHLN-US to air six NHL games in five days

Barely a week into the 2012-13 NHL season, the action has already been fast and furious. Now the NHL Network-United States, the home for all the latest news and highlights, will be providing an awesome slate of non-stop game action leading into the second week of this NHL campaign.

With six games during the next five days, NHL fans will have a relentless slate of competition featuring some of the League's top teams and rivalries. That busy schedule kicks off Thursday night as the Rangers, fresh off their first win of the young season, visit Atlantic Division rival Philadelphia, which is looking to get its first victory this year.

The packed NHL schedule will peak during the weekend, as NHLN-US broadcasts three games during a 24-hour period, starting Saturday afternoon when the Colorado Avalanche come to San Jose to take on the Sharks. It all winds up Monday night when the Staal brothers and the Carolina Hurricanes host the Boston Bruins in Raleigh.
