No NHLCI on stream

ESPN+ replaced NHL.TV in the USA a few years ago, which was the streaming version of Center Ice. So you don't need Center Ice if you have a base package that gives you access to ESPN Unlimited (Entertainment and higher or MySports).

Streaming customers should see the out of market NHL games integrated into Sports Central with other ESPN Unlimited content.
Satellite customers need to use the ESPN app as the 210s only have the ESPN+ exclusive games.

I'll have to try it one of these days. Because the apartment complex has Directv Choice paid for (streaming) they may consider it a business account. Yes it's in my name if I wanted to upgrade to higher package but I've tried to login and it didn't work properly

ESPN Unlimited doesn't use a provider login like ESPN3 did, you have to login to your DTV account at directv.com, and click the link to activate it on your ESPN account.

At least according to the FAQ, eligible streaming customers automatically have access to ESPN Unlimited's events in Sports Central within the DTV app and don't need to activate unless they want to watch on the ESPN app or website.
