Cable Cutter? No Problem!
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Let's face it, cable packages are about as fun to untangle as a bag of Christmas lights. But worry not, cord-cutters! There are several ways to stream the game without needing a degree in hieroglyphics to decipher your TV bill.
- ESPN+: This streaming service is your knight in shining armor, offering out-of-market Red Wings games (but check the schedule, because sometimes blackout restrictions are a real slap shot to the face). Bonus: They have a treasure trove of other sports content, so you can channel your inner sports fanatic.
- Bally Sports+: The official home of the Red Wings, this platform lets you stream every game if you're in the Detroit market. Word to the wise: Double-check your zip code before subscribing, or you might end up watching reruns of curling instead of Larkin light up the ice.
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.

QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
