The Story Behind ESPN National Hockey Night
ESPN National Hockey Night is a multiplatform traditional ice hockey simulation video game for the Super NES, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, and personal computers with MS-DOS capabilities.
How ESPN National Hockey Night Plays
Like most ESPN games, there is an exhibition mode, a season mode, and a playoff mode. Most of the notable NHL players from the 1990s are included; though their real names are not used, the players' jersey numbers are matched up with the '93-'94 stats of the real world players who wore those numbers.

Why Players Still Load It Up
GamePro gave the Genesis version a mixed review. They highly praised the ability to switch between vertical and side views, the season mode options, and the adjustable difficulty settings, but criticized the music and "soupy" controls. They concluded that the game is good overall, but overshadowed by NHL 95, which came out at the same time.
Next Generation reviewed the Sega CD version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "ESPN NHL is good, very good, but it is not going to give EA's series anything to worry about, at least not for the moment."
