Yep, any time the Canucks play against your region’s local team, the game will be blacked out
For example, I live in Torrance, California, which is in Los Angeles County, so the Canucks-Kings and Canucks-Ducks games are always blacked out. Note that you will still see the game show up in your ESPN+ upcoming hockey game feed, but when you click on it when it’s game time, it’ll tell you it’s blacked out
There are also games that show up in your ESPN+ feed that are actually streamed on ESPN2, ESPN3 or even ESPN, and those are separate channels not included in your ESPN+ subscription. It’s a little confusing the way they set it up, but in order to see those channels you need to add a “TV” subscription that gives you access to those channels, like FuboTV or Sling. I have Sling because it’s the cheaper option at US$35 a month and I get all the ESPN channels
