Information checked: November 6, 2026, at 04:03 UTC (UTC+00:00).
The Nashville Predators’ visit to the Colorado Avalanche was scheduled for Thursday, November 5, at Ball Arena in Denver. For viewers in Canada, the NHL listed Sportsnet+ and TVA Sports for the game, making the league’s game page and your provider’s listing the best places to check the current score and available broadcast.
The scheduled start was 7:30 p.m. in Denver, Mountain Standard Time (MST, UTC-07:00), equivalent to 9:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-05:00) and 02:30 UTC on Friday, November 6. The game had reached its scheduled start by the time of this check; a current score or final result was not independently confirmed here.
Destaques
The NHL’s game preview lists SN+ and TVAS among the broadcasters. In Canada, those refer to Sportsnet+ and TVA Sports. Open the Sportsnet app or website and search for the matchup, or check the TVA Sports schedule through your television provider.
Before paying for a subscription, check the event listing in your account for your location, package and device. Availability and subscription requirements can differ, and a broadcaster listing alone does not establish that every plan includes the game. ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+ also appear in the NHL listing, but Canadian viewers should not assume the U.S. options provide access in Canada.
If you join after the scheduled start, look for the live event rather than a pregame program. A replay or highlights may become available later, but check the service’s listing for availability rather than assuming a full replay is included.
The scheduled puck drop was Thursday, November 5, at 7:30 p.m. MST in Denver. For Canadian viewers, that corresponded to 6:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC-08:00), 8:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-06:00), 9:30 p.m. EST and 10:30 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time (AST, UTC-04:00). In Newfoundland, it was 11:00 p.m. Newfoundland Standard Time (NST, UTC-03:30).
Those conversions use the standard-time offsets in effect on the game date. The Predators’ game-day preview confirms the venue and lists the scheduled start as 8:30 p.m. Central Time. Actual puck drop can differ from a scheduled broadcast time.
Go to the NHL scores page for November 5, find Nashville at Colorado and select GameCenter. The game page is the practical starting point for the score, period, shots, scoring plays and other game details. Refresh or reopen it if a display appears stale, and check whether the game is marked final before treating a score as the result.
For audio, Nashville’s game-day preview lists 102.5 The Game and the Predators Radio Network. Online audio availability may depend on the service and location, so check the station or team listing before relying on it outside the broadcast area. If you only have a few minutes, the score and play-by-play can show what has happened without requiring a video subscription.
These are Central Division rivals meeting for the second of four scheduled games this season, according to Nashville’s preview. The Predators won the first meeting 6-2 in Nashville. That result provides context for the rematch, but it does not determine what will happen in Denver.
Entering the game, the NHL preview listed Nashville at 6-4-5 and Colorado at 9-6-1. Those are pregame records, not updated standings. Readers checking the outcome should use the current standings after the game to see how the result affects each club. A head-to-head game matters because points earned by one division rival can affect its position relative to the other, although a single November result will not settle the playoff race.
The NHL preview also published projected line combinations. Treat those as a starting point: coaches can change lines, and projected goaltenders are not the same as confirmed starters. The game’s official lineup and box score are more useful once play begins.
During the game, compare the score with shots, penalties and power-play opportunities rather than relying on one statistic alone. A team can lead in shots without leading on the scoreboard, and a brief advantage in either category can change quickly.
Afterward, check the final designation, the box score and the updated standings. If the game remains tied after regulation, the eventual winner and the way the game ends will matter when interpreting the result. Any assessment of momentum or future playoff position should remain conditional on subsequent games.
