"NHL Overtime" scores the winner each night for fans searching for the latest news from the National Hockey League. The show features game highlights, recaps and pointed analysis from ex-NHLers and others. There's also exclusive interviews, special features, occasional live look-ins at games in progress and post-game access to players and coaches.

Following Sunday night NHL action on NBCSN, host Dave Briggs and analysts, including Jeremy Roenick, Brian Boucher and Anson Carter, recap the league's top moments from the past week. In addition to the biggest goals, saves, hits and surprises, "Sunday Shootout" previews the next seven days in hockey and features recurring segments, including "NHL Live Roundtable," "NHL Best of 7" and "Inside the Numbers."

Sports is rife with subjects that fans can bat around in spirited debates. With a storied history dating back to 1917, the National Hockey League has plenty to offer in that regard, as demonstrated in "NHL Top 10." The series runs the gamut of hockey "bests" and counts them down from 10 to one, with each half-hour episode focusing on a single topic like goal scorers, team rivalries, game-winning moments, toughest places to play, and U.S.-born players. Included with the highlights are commentary and analysis from current and former players, as well as broadcasters and journalists.

To enhance its current game coverage dubbed "Wednesday Night Rivalry," NBCSN created a sister show that pays tribute to the most explosive matchups in the NHL's past. "NHL Rivals" documents the storied history shared -- but not nicely -- by many of the teams featured on "Wednesday Night Rivalry," as told by current and former players, broadcasters and journalists. Included are plenty of highlights from knock-down, drag-out games between the Islanders and Rangers, Blackhawks and Blues, Flyers and Capitals, and Bruins and Canadiens, among others, that ultimately paved the rivalry road.

While "SportsNation" is hosted by Cari Champion, Marcellus Wiley and LZ Granderson, it's really powered by the people, fueled by fan interaction and focused on fun. The lighthearted, hourlong weekday series attracts the youngest demographic of all of ESPN's studio shows, and it's different than many of the network's offerings in that fan engagement and clever, imaginative segments are at the heart of the program. While they day's hottest and weirdest sports topics are covered, also included is discussion of the smaller stories that people are taking about on the internet but often aren't seen on TV.

FS1's challenge to ESPN's "SportsCenter" in the form of "Fox Sports Live" lasted a little more than two years, with the effort failing in part because traditional sports highlight shows no longer have broad appeal. A new iteration focuses on the chemistry of returning co-anchors Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole (this time they even get title recognition!) in a format that showcases their personalities, senses of humor and interviewing skills.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship's weekly magazine show gives fans an all-access pass to the UFC, both inside and outside the famed Octagon. Each half-hour episode includes in-depth profiles of the UFC's biggest stars, tell-all features and compelling backstage footage, plus look-backs and previews of UFC events. The series is hosted by Jon Anik, who previously fronted ESPN's coverage of the sport as the host of "MMA Live."

When the weekend racing action hits the checkered flag, "NASCAR America" feeds the appetite of fans for up-to-the-minute coverage with a weekday news, analysis and all-access series. A revolving roster of hosts and guest analysts -- including former drivers and crew chiefs as well as NASCAR executives -- deliver a mix of highlights, thought-provoking debates, and interviews with a variety of newsmakers in the world of motorsports. The series also features social media elements and themed episodes.
