On occasion, there may be only one team's broadcast available to view live. It is possible that the other broadcast may become available later.

My video is not playing.

My videos take a long time to start and/or are not playing smoothly.

NHL GameCenter LIVE™'s adaptive feature will select the appropriate video streaming bitrate based on your network's bandwidth so that you may enjoy the best video quality available. If you are having issues with choppy video, select a lower streaming quality such as 800 Kbps or 1600 Kbps.

I was watching a game and was suddenly kicked out of the game and signed out.

If you were kicked out of a game in progress and signed out of NHL GameCenter LIVE™, please attempt to sign back in (as prompted or by going directly to gamecenterlive.nhl.com).

My game is missing intermission reports.

NHL GameCenter LIVE™ usually offers the game intermission reports on one of the two broadcasts available for each game. If you are not able to view the intermission reports in the broadcast feed you are watching, please select the other team's broadcast feed from the bottom of the screen.
