The Stanley Cup playoffs would have begun Wednesday, and as such potentially could have been one of the most-watched and listened-to nights of the year on AT&T SportsNet and 105.9 FM radio.
In lieu of what could have been Game 1 of a Pittsburgh Penguins-Philadelphia Flyers first-round series, the stations will air re-broadcasts of what is arguably the most consequential game in Penguins history.
The only Game 7 the franchise has taken part in during its six Stanley Cup Final appearances, 2009 in Detroit, will be aired in its entirety at 7 p.m. Wednesday on the rightsholders for Penguins’ television and radio.

Also being broadcast on AT&T SportsNet and 105.9 FM will be all four Penguins victories of the 2016 Stanley Cup final against the San Jose Sharks. Game 1 is scheduled for broadcast Monday, Game 2 two days later on April 15, Game 4 on April 20 and the deciding Game 6 on April 22.
For 2009 Game 7 Wednesday, Tyler Kennedy will be live-tweeting commentary. Kennedy was a 22-year-old, third-line wing during those playoffs, posting five goals and nine points.
