NHL paints town for new season

As the new NHL season gets underway tonight, PPG and the NHL unveiled a three-year extension of their partnership, with PPG continuing its status as the Official Paint of the NHL in the US and Canada. In addition, all official game pucks used in the 2019-2020 NHL season will include a color-changing thermochromic coating that changes from purple to clear when a pucks temperature is above freezing, providing a visual indication to officials that the puck should be replaced. The renewed three-year deal will continue to enable PPG to promote its partnership on PPG paint product packaging, on point-of-purchase displays, in contests and promotions, and through social media and digital marketing.

NBC Sports drops the puck on the 2019-20 NHL season at 8p on NBCSN, when the defending Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues host the 2018 Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals on NBCSN’s NHL Face-Off. Coverage continues at 10:30p with the Vegas Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks in Las Vegas. Pre-game coverage starts with a special 90-minute edition of NHL Live at 6:30p.
