Stanley Cup playoffs
During the playoffs, TSN has 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 8th choices of First Round series, 2nd and 4th in the Second Round, and 2nd in the Conference Finals. This means that there is the possibility of TSN covering a Canadian team during the playoffs. This happened during 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, as TSN televised Calgary Flames' First Round series against Chicago Blackhawks and in 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs when Montreal Canadiens defeated Washington Capitals in 7 games.

Notes
- 1998 – Due to the television premiere of the film Apollo 13, Game 3 of the Colorado–Edmonton playoff series was seen on both CBC and TSN, using CBC's feed. CBC's end of the deal was regionally televised west of Ontario, while TSN broadcast the game east of Manitoba.
- 2003 – Game 2 of the New Jersey–Boston was not televised as TSN instead, aired the World Curling Championships from Winnipeg.
- Game 3 of the Detroit–Anaheim series was joined in progress after the completion of WWE Raw. Likewise, Game 6 of the Dallas-Anaheim series was joined-in-progress after the completion of WWE Raw.
