Use Ruby to fetch details about recent, current, and upcoming regular season NHL matchups.

An instance of the NHLScores::Games class gives you access to NHL game data fetched from this endpoint. Instances of this class are initialized with an array of NHLScores::Game instances in the games attribute. The following methods are at your disposal for interacting with the NHLScores::Games instance.

• NHLScores::Games#all - Returns an array of all games available via the endpoint

• NHLScores::Games#in_progress - Returns an array of current games (including those in pre-game)

Each array consists of zero or more instances of the aforementioned NHLScores::Game class. Each game instance has the following properties:

• id
• date
• start_time
• home_team
• away_team
• home_team_score
• away_team_score
• status
• ustv (US television)
