I created a widget for iOS and the Scriptable.app to always see on the homescreen of my iPhone when the next games are up for my favorite NHL team.

Since v3 small (2x2) and medium (4x2) sized widgets are supported. Some features are not available in the small widget. I have written in the brackets after the features in which variant it is available.
- Shows date and time of next game (local timezone) (Small + Medium)
- Shows city where the next game takes place (Small + Medium)
- Show live score of next game. "Live" depends on how often the widget on the homescreen updates itself. It is not possible to say exactly, when it updates. (Medium)
- Shows stats of both teams (wins, losses, overtime losses) (Small + Medium)
- Shows standings of both teams (Small + Medium)
- Shows top scorer of your team and the opponent (Small + Medium)
- Shows next 4 games with date (Medium)
- Caches logos to save data volume (Small + Medium)
- Supports light- and dark-mode (Small + Medium)
- Supports no-background.js (Medium)
Note: I don't know how the api displays the games when it comes to playoffs. I'll have to check again when the season is at this point.

As some users asked how to donate to the project I created this section:
Of course I won't take anything for the widget, but if you really want to donate, feel free to buy me a coffee via paypal.
Found a bug? Feel free to create a issue.
I used the publicly accessible NHL api which is documented by dword4. The logos are taken from thesportsdb.com.
This is a project developed by myself. It is not an official widget of the NHL. I have no relationship with the NHL.
