from Austin Karp of SportsBusiness Daily,
NBC Sports Network is averaging 448,000 viewers through 27 NHL games this season to date, putting the net on pace to have its best season yet. The net saw its previous high during the last rights deal with 348,000 viewers for games during the ’10-11 season. The net’s average during this lockout-shortened season also is up 35% from last season’s average of 332,000 viewers. Wednesday night rivalry games have helped aid the average this season.

To put this great news in perspective, a rerun of the classic TV drama ‘Hart of Dixie’ got 507,000 viewers on the CW.
Golly, all the NHL needs to do now is improve their TV ratings by around 15% and they can knock that smarmy Rachel Bilson off her perch.

Ssshhhhh….. NHL likes putting lipstick on their pig. Problem is a lot of fans don’t know it’s a pig.
