The Point

NHL 2Night is a former news magazine that used to broadcast highlights of National Hockey League games and stories about the league up to five nights a week on ESPN and ESPN2. It was usually broadcast live at 10:00PM ET or immediately following a game on ESPN2. It was then re-broadcast a few times throughout the night and following day.

It debuted in 1995. The show was originally hosted by Bill Pidto[1] and later John Buccigross.[2][3] Barry Melrose[2][3] was the main analyst.

Cancellation

The NHL and ESPN extended their broadcast agreement for the 2004–05 season, with options for the two following seasons. From a high of 129 game telecasts on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC in 1999–2000, the new deal called for 40 games on ESPN2. As part of this reduced commitment, the network cancelled NHL 2Night.

ESPNEWS now provides expanded segments for Barry Melrose, usually on Thursday nights, to analyze NHL action.

After the NHL returned to ESPN in 2021, the network would announce a new hockey studio show The Point, the successor to NHL 2Night. [4]
