Two of the NHL’s best teams clash Saturday afternoon in Dallas, where the Stars will host a Western Conference battle with the Colorado Avalanche. The game is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET (2 p.m. CT) with TV coverage on ABC and streaming on-demand.

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can watch the NHL without actually spending anything. This clearly isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream select NHL fixtures before recovering your investment.
