The network's newest digital platform is available at TSN.ca/GameTracker, delivering the ultimate companion viewing experience for every NHL game.

Sponsored exclusively by Advil, the TSN GameTracker offers second-screen, real-time access to in-depth stats and detailed game and player analytics for every NHL match-up, including goals, shots, hits, and time on ice.  The TSN GameTracker also has an interactive display that plots each stat on a virtual ice surface - where and when it happens.

"The TSN GameTracker is another example of our commitment to developing interactive features that enhance the viewing experience for fans and connect them to our live event programming, while also providing our fans with the real-time sports news and scores that they want - and need."

With the TSN GameTracker, fans get immediate access to:

• An animated rink graphic that pinpoints every shot, goal, hit, penalty, and block in the game
• A snapshot of penalty minutes, power players, time on ice, faceoff wins, giveaways, takeaways, and saves

• Sortable boxscores
• An in-game tab featuring:
• Top players by goals, assists, shots, hits, ice-time and penalty minutes
• Player ranking engine

Additional features will be added in the coming weeks based on fan feedback.

The TSN GameTracker will be featured on THAT'S HOCKEY 2NITE through to the end of the NHL season, as host Steve Kouleas and TSN's team of hockey experts give fans a comprehensive analysis of the day's NHL games.
