Richard Deitsch of The Athletic reports that no decision has been made on which nights the NHL will air.
Turner says no programming decisions have been made yet regarding the NHL and days of the week it will air. That is something @AEW fans will/should be following.

AEW currently has a deal with TNT/Turner as Dynamite airs every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on TNT. The NBA often promotes Dynamite during games and Turner employee Shaquille O'Neal competed in AEW in March.
