NHL Playoffs First-Round Ratings Surge, Led By Boston-Toronto Game 7
Round 1 games of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs averaged 934,000 viewers in the U.S. across multiple networks, making it the second-most-watched first round ever.
Leading the charge was Saturday’s Game 7 between Original Six rivals the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs, which delivered 3.22 million viewers on ABC. That game was more widely watched when factoring in hockey-mad Canada, with 8.82 million tuning in across North America on ABC, CBC, Sportsnet and TVA Sports. The second round continues tonight with Game 1 matchups between the Carolina Hurricanes and the President Cup-winning New York Rangers in the East and the Dallas Stars hosting the Colorado Avalanche in the West.
