NBCSN adds 7 more West Coast games as part of stretch run

[AP]

No Coyotes games added? What a shame considering they are in the playoff race and a team like Anaheim who is pretty much done gets 3 games to be shown on the network. Gary Bettman should be proud for the fine work he has done to help the Coyotes out in AZ.

Only for the first round. The last three rounds will have "national" broadcast teams for all games (guessing that NBCSN will pick up TSN and CBC 'casts, and/or combine production with them when possible).

The games themselves are covered in the contract fee, though it's very possible the NHL gets an additional cut of advertizement revenue, which would mean they would get a little more.

AFAIK, the current NBC/Versus-NBCSN agreement is no revenue sharing (unlike the previous deal). So I doubt the league gets any additional revenue for more games.
