The event's broadcast slate features five games including a Friday night east/west primetime doubleheader on TSN and the Saturday night Wings game on ESPN2. After a trip to Toronto in Week 2, the Wings will open their home schedule on Saturday, December 16 at 1pm against the Albany FireWolves at the New Wells Fargo Center with both of those games on NBC Sports Philadelphia channels.
