The NBC Sports group released its 2015-16 NHL schedule consisting of 105 games on NBC and NBC Sports Network.

Among the 105 games scheduled to be broadcast, the Arizona Coyotes will be on once.

Their March 7 contest against the Colorado Avalanche will be the team’s lone appearance on NBC Sports this season.

Last year, the Coyotes won their lone appearance on NBC Sports by defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 (SO) on February 9.

Their one national game equals the amount of times Connor McDavid’s Edmonton Oilers will be on national television in the United States.

Other teams that will make one appearance are the Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Calgary Flames, Ottawa Senators, Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets will make zero appearances.

The Chicago Blackhawks will have 21 games televised nationally, which is the most among the league.
