Here is a bit more info...hopefully it will be helpful:

If I attempt this URL:
https://www.nhl.com/bruins/video/bruins-beat-back-at-home/t-277464000/c-41694303
...the generic fails with usupported URL

The generic extractor IS able to pull the video from the direct link:
http://md-akc.med.nhl.com/mp4/nhl/2016/02/22/ae823bbd-7f7b-4a15-8738-d3a52efd2eb0/1456171579536/asset_1800k.mp4
