XM Satellite Radio has expanded their NHL offering from six NHL play-by-play channels to nine channels, allowing for fans to hear every game for every NHL team wherever they are.

Games can be heard on XM channels 204-209 and channels 237-239. Why didn't XM just do a reshuffle of the channel numbers to group them together? That's a darn good question.

Either way, the 2007-2008 NHL season starts this weekend as the Anaheim Ducks begin defense of their first Stanley Cup championship against the Los Angeles Kings. The Ducks and Kings will play Saturday and Sunday at the O2 Arena in London, making this the first time that a NHL regular-season game was played in Europe. The games will air live on XM channel 205.

XM and the NHL have a $100 million long-term relationship that extends through 2015. Their broadcast partnership went exclusive earlier this summer.
