It's hard to find silver linings in this shortened NHL season, but hey, at least there is a season. And: all 48 games will be on TV of some sort, the Wild announced Tuesday.

Per a release from the team, FOX Sports North will televise a total of 44 games and the Wild will make four national television appearances. Each of the Wild's 48 regular season games will be televised this season.

The four national games are Jan. 27 (at St. Louis on NBCSN), Jan. 30 (home against Chicago on NBCSN), March 20 (at Detroit on NBCSN) and April 9 (home against Chicago on NBCSN).

Again, this doesn't make up for the 34 games missed. But it's at least good news for fans who want to catch up with the team during a short season.
