NHL Scores Nov 12 on Mac: Track Hurricanes at Kraken Without Tabs
Hurricanes at Kraken in Helsinki on Thursday, Nov 12, 2026, 12 p.m. ET on NHL Network, plus 10 evening games. Puck-drop times and a Mac widget setup.
The Carolina Hurricanes visit the Seattle Kraken in the NHL Global Series on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. local) from Veikkaus Arena in Helsinki, Finland, on NHL Network. As of Asia-morning research on November 12, that game had not started. Carolina entered 14–3–2 (30 points, first in the Metropolitan Division and first in the East) and Seattle 9–6–1 (19 points, fourth in the Pacific), per the NHL standings API. Ten more games follow in the evening, starting at 7:00 p.m. ET, including Montreal at Boston.
This page is for Thursday's slate. It does not replace the November 11 NHL guide (Lightning at Sabres), the November 10 NHL guide, or the November 2 NHL guide.
To follow the scores without a stream or a score app open all day, put four things one shortcut away on your Mac: a scores widget, an NHL news feed, a Hurricanes, Kraken, or #NHL keyword watch, and an optional countdown to puck drop.

Thursday's slate is still pregame
As of this morning's research, Thursday's 11 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 Hurricanes at Kraken (gameId 401891808) once that game starts, and use that page for the live total.

Eleven games share Thursday. A panel you open over whatever you are doing covers the Helsinki noon window, then the same panel covers the 7:00 p.m. ET cluster and the late West Coast game.
Puck-drop time in your zone
The Global Series game is Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern at Veikkaus Arena (2026-11-12T17:00Z), which is 7:00 p.m. in Helsinki (EET). The United States is on standard time after November 1, so use EST / CST / PST labels today. The first evening games are 7:00 p.m. ET.
| City | Hurricanes at Kraken local puck drop |
|---|---|
| New York (EST) | Thu, 12:00 p.m. |
| Chicago (CST) | Thu, 11:00 a.m. |
| Los Angeles (PST) | Thu, 9:00 a.m. |
| Helsinki (EET) | Thu, 7:00 p.m. |
| London (GMT) | Thu, 5:00 p.m. |
| Berlin / Paris (CET) | Thu, 6:00 p.m. |
| Beijing | Fri, 1:00 a.m. |
| Tokyo (JST) | Fri, 2:00 a.m. |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Fri, 4:00 a.m. |
For much of Asia and Australia, the Helsinki game lands in the early Friday hours. The 7:00 p.m. ET evening cluster is 8:00 a.m. Friday 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 11, November 10, and November 2 guides.
Build the scores widget from the score data, and use a feed for the headlines.
Set up Thursday'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 the Helsinki game and the evening slate.
1. Today'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 today's NHL games for Thursday, November 12, starting with Hurricanes at Kraken in Helsinki, 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. Hurricanes, Kraken, or #NHL on X
- Widget: X Keyword Watch from the X widgets.
- Keyword: one team or tag, for example
Hurricanes,Kraken, 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 CAR @ SEA 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. If you care more about the evening cluster, name the countdown for Montreal at Boston instead.
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 day.
| Tabs and phone apps | Kepo panel | |
|---|---|---|
| Live score | Reload a page or unlock your phone | Scores widget refreshes on its own |
| Lineup and recap news | Scroll a site's front page | One feed, newest first |
| Reactions | X tab you keep scrolling | Keyword widget, glance and close |
| During work | Switch away from your app | One shortcut over the app, one to hide |
Keep the panel small. One scores widget and one news feed answer most Thursday slates. Add the keyword watch and the countdown only if you check them. The same pattern already works for the November 11 NHL guide and tonight's TNF game if you follow more than one sport.

FAQ
What time is Hurricanes at Kraken today?
12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from Veikkaus Arena in Helsinki on NHL Network, which is 7:00 p.m. local (EET). Convert with the table above for your city. The US is on standard time after November 1. Evening games start at 7:00 p.m. ET.
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 Thursday's slate
Set it up once and reuse it on later NHL days: 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.
