The <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/oilers-captain-connor-mcdavid-out-two-to-three-weeks-with-ankle-injury">Connor McDavid-less Edmonton Oilers</a> will play their first of four Monday Night Hockey games that&#8217;ll be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime next week. The team <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBwvh-8Twpp/?igsh=MXM1bmtxaDJncHY1bA%3D%3D&amp;img_index=3">announced</a> the four dates on social media on Wednesday and gave fans an explanation on how they can watch the games.

Back in the spring, Amazon, Rogers Communications, and the NHL <a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/prime-monday-night-hockey-to-debut-next-season">announced a two-year partnership</a> to bring hockey games to the world of digital streaming. Monday Night Hockey on Prime features a weekly matchup between notable teams and the platform also offers a weekly around-the-league show called &#8216;Coast to Coast&#8217; every Thursday.
The first three installments of Monday Night Hockey on Prime saw the Montreal Canadiens host the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Toronto Maple Leafs host the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Winnipeg Jets host the Leafs.
Next Monday will see the Oilers host the New Jersey Devils for their first game on Prime. The Oilers will be on Monday Night Hockey again a couple of weeks after on November 18 when they visit Montreal. Their third appearance on Prime will come on December 16 when they host the Florida Panthers for a Stanley Cup Final rematch. The fourth and final Monday Night Hockey game will be on April 14 against the Los Angeles Kings.
There have been a few different reactions to the NHL moving into the world of streaming this season. Many have praised the quality and sharpness of Amazon&#8217;s visual product while others have expressed frustration about having to pay for another service.

Why are you taking games away from your regular, loyal, paying fanbase?&#8221;
