Coverage will start at 7 p.m. ET with an hour-long NHL on TNT Face Off presented by Verizon pregame show featuring Wayne Gretzky, Rick Tocchet, Anson Carter, Paul Bissonnette and host Liam McHugh live from Ball Arena in Denver. The studio team will provide analysis and insights between periods during the Lexus First Intermission Report and the Discover Second Intermission Report, as well as the NHL on TNT Post Game Show presented by Buick.
Kenny Albert, one of the most trusted and versatile play-by-play voices in sports, will call the Western Conference Finals on TNT alongside analysts Eddie Olczyk, Keith Jones and Darren Pang. Nabil Karim and Meaghan Mikkelson will be reporters throughout the series.
The Western Conference Finals will showcase some of the biggest stars in the National Hockey League, including five of the top 10 points scorers in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs through the first two rounds.
The Oilers are led by their lethal dynamic duo of 2022 Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid and2020 Hart Memorial Trophy winner Leon Draisaitl — who enter the round tied atop the playoff scoring race with identical stat lines (7 goals, 19 assists, 26 points) — as well as Evander Kane, the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs leading goal scorer through two rounds.
The Avalanche, the Western Conference's No. 1 seed in this year's playoffs, will look to end their two-decade Conference championship drought with a balanced line featuring superstar centerman Nathan MacKinnon, wingers Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen, and 2021-22 James Norris Memorial Trophy finalist Cale Makar.
