NHL Ratings Are On An Upswing

NBC's regular season coverage of the NHL is enjoying it's highest TV ratings in 14 years.

From an NBC press release, NBC's telecast of Pittsburgh vs Chicago, which went head-to-head against the Daytona 500, generated nearly two million viewers, which makes it the most watched regular season hockey game outside of the January 1 Winter Classic in nearly five years.

So far this season, for NBC's 5 regular season televised games, including the Winter Classic, the Peacock Network is averaging 2.1 million viewers, the most viewers since the days of the glowing puck on Fox Sports.
