Send Push
The second season of Faceoff: Inside the NHL on Prime Video brings together an exceptional lineup of hockey stars. From legends like Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury to dynamic forwards. Such as Mikko Rantanen and William Nylander. Also, the series goes beyond highlights and statistics, as it gives viewers a rare look into the players' journeys. Along with their challenges and emotional moments.

Unlike traditional game coverage, this documentary peels back the layers of the league’s top names, and the presence of veteran Brendan Shanahan and the Tkachuk brothers. This adds both experience and personality. It allows fans to connect with the emotional pulse of the league in a way standard broadcasts rarely allow, and the series also captures pivotal moments. This includes retirements and major career shifts. And that defines the players’ lives on and off the ice.

Trade moves and personal decisions also shape Season 2’s narratives, and Mikko Rantanen’s unexpected journey. That, too, from the Avalanche to the Hurricanes. And then on to the Stars is one of the most intriguing arcs. It reveals how quickly a player’s reality can shift, and how that change affects their mindset and game.
