Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

NHL Highlights | Ducks vs. Golden Knights - October 2, 2026

"NHL Highlights | Ducks vs. Golden Knights - October 2, 2026" is the reel Sportsnet viewers watched most from its fifteen uploads this week, and the comments under it keep coming back to one player. Leo Carlsson's pass on Beckett Sennecke's goal, and a goal of his own, has Anaheim fans chanting and a Columbus fan cheering along. The other talking point is a coach's challenge for offside: many viewers ask why anyone would risk it with a 4-1 lead, and a few say they had never seen one fail like that.

Bruins-Jets from the same night ran close behind, and Blues-Stars drew a smaller crowd. Nightly game reels are the channel's bread and butter, so the upload with a different flavor stands out. On The Couch With Colby went big: Colby Armstrong, once Crosby's teammate in Pittsburgh, hosted Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid together. The description promises Connor's memories of meeting Sid as a teenager, talk about McDavid's speed, and both stars firing one-timers at Armstrong's new goalie, Oldie.

Late in the week came a sight Toronto viewers are still getting used to: Kirill Marchenko scoring his first goal in a Maple Leafs jersey, past Ottawa's Linus Ullmark.

The channel ran a little below its usual daily pace, and its subscriber count held steady. Among similar sports channels it sits mid-table for views this week, while ESPN College Football had by far the biggest week of the group.
