Simple answer is ever since ESPN lost out on the NHL rights for games, they mostly stopped caring about NHL until maybe 1-2 years ago.

It used to be for a long while, all they did for NHL was a weekly recap of 15 minutes on Sportscenter or ESPN News along with quick daily recap of scores.

The ironic thing is when they lost NHL rights, they bought Arena Football rights for games and when AFL collapsed, they bought La Liga and EPL soccer rights. During the whole time, they kept buying more smaller college conferences rights which were cheap and time fillers for daily games.
