I think the NHL benefits when they get more Americans interested, and so that's why sending NHLers to Salt Lake City and Vancouver was valuable. Slightly less valuable when the games come on at 2am on the east coast.

Games in Pyeongchang that start at 8pm local time would be 9am EST in North America. Reasonable enough time to attract viewers and advertisers.
