NHL Scores Nov 11 on Mac: Track Lightning at Sabres Without Tabs

Tonight's slate is still pregame

As of this morning's research, Wednesday's six games had not started. The table below is the scheduled slate, matching the NHL schedule API and ESPN's board. Scores are still 0–0. Open the ESPN game page for Lightning at Sabres (gameId 401892690) once that game starts, and use that page for the live total.

Six games share Wednesday. A panel you open over whatever you are doing covers the first TNT window, then the same panel covers Vegas at 9:30 and the 10:00 p.m. ET West Coast pair.

Puck-drop time in your zone

The first TNT game is Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at KeyBank Center (2026-11-12T00:00Z). The United States is on standard time after November 1, so use EST / CST / PST labels tonight. Calgary's 7:30 p.m. ET start is 5:30 p.m. local.

For much of Asia and Australia, the TNT opener lands in the Thursday morning work block. Vegas at 9:30 p.m. ET is 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Beijing.

Why a pinned scoreboard page often stays blank

The obvious idea is to pin ESPN's NHL scoreboard or the game page in a web-view widget. It often stays blank: ESPN's scoreboard and game pages tell browsers not to show them inside another app's frame. The same limit is already spelled out in the November 10 and November 2 guides.

Build the scores widget from the score data, and use a feed for the headlines.

Set up tonight's NHL tracker in Kepo

Kepo keeps small widgets in a floating panel you open with a global shortcut, over any app, including full-screen ones. Four widgets cover Wednesday night.

1. Tonight's score (built with AI)

Kepo has no fixed NHL plugin, so describe the widget you want. Name the source, the fields, and the refresh:

• Prompt example: "Show tonight's NHL games for Wednesday, November 11, starting with Lightning at Sabres, from a public scoreboard source: both teams, the score, the period and clock, or the puck-drop time in my time zone if a game has not started. Put my team first. Refresh every 2 minutes while a game is live."
• Check it: compare the first result with the ESPN game page before you rely on it.

2. NHL news feed

• Widget: RSS Reader, which reads one RSS or Atom feed.
• Feed URL: https://www.espn.com/espn/rss/nhl/news
• What it shows: the newest NHL headlines with links, such as lineup notes before puck drop and a recap after the final horn.

3. Lightning, Sabres, or #NHL on X

• Widget: X Keyword Watch from the X widgets.
• Keyword: one team or tag, for example Lightning, Sabres, or #NHL.
• What it shows: the latest posts from X's Live results for that keyword. Sign in to X first for reliable results.

4. Optional: a countdown to puck drop

Add an Event Timer countdown named TBL @ BUF puck drop. The countdown runs for a length of time from when you save it, so pick Hour or Minute as the unit and enter the time left. It is a display only and sends no reminder.

Score apps and tabs vs one shortcut panel

A floating panel covers the score, feed, and keyword watch without keeping a stack of score tabs or a phone app open all night.

Keep the panel small. One scores widget and one news feed answer most Wednesday nights. Add the keyword watch and the countdown only if you check them. The same pattern already works for the November 10 NHL guide and tonight's NBA slate if you follow more than one sport.

FAQ

What time is Lightning at Sabres tonight?

7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, from KeyBank Center on TNT, truTV, and HBO Max. Convert with the table above for your city. The US is on standard time after November 1.

Is there an NHL scores widget for Mac?

macOS has no built-in NHL scores widget. With Kepo you can describe one to its AI builder, using a public scoreboard as the source, and keep it next to a news feed in one panel.

Can I pin ESPN's NHL scoreboard in a widget?

You can try, but ESPN's NHL scoreboard and game pages block being shown inside another app's frame, so a web-view widget may stay blank. A widget built from score data, plus an RSS feed for news, is more reliable.

Will the widget alert me when the game ends?

The widgets in this setup are for glancing: open the panel and see the current state. They do not send notifications by themselves.

Get set up for tonight's slate

Set it up once and reuse it on later NHL nights: a scores widget, the ESPN NHL feed, one keyword watch, and a puck-drop countdown if you want it, all behind one shortcut. Download Kepo for your Apple silicon Mac and add the first widget in a few minutes.
