How often do NHL scores update on this page?

Scores auto-update every 30 seconds during live games and every 2 minutes when idle. No page refresh needed — updates happen in the background via Livewire polling. Server-side cache refreshes every minute via cron.

Where does the NHL game data come from?

Primary source is the public NHL API (api-web.nhle.com/v1/score/now). If that fails, we fall back to ESPN's public scoreboard API. Data is cached for 60 seconds during live games and 5 minutes for standings.

Can I see yesterday or tomorrow's NHL games?

Yes. Use the date navigator at the top of the page or append ?date=YYYY-MM-DD to the URL. The week strip shows 7 days of games at a glance with game counts per day.
