Well it looks like Wednesday is going to be a dead sports night outside the NHL opening games.

No way, Suns are playing preseason basketball! Important game.

Specifically...

Wednesday Night Rivalry’s Philadelphia Flyers-Boston Bruins matchup (7:27-10:06 p.m. ET) delivered 956,000 viewers and a 0.57 household rating, making it the most-watched opening night game on cable on record (data available since 1993) and the highest-rated NHL regular-season game ever on NBCSN. The game also set live streaming records for uniques and minutes consumed.

The second game of the doubleheader, featuring the San Jose Sharks against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings (10:06 p.m. ET – 1:14 a.m. ET), averaged 446,000 viewers, the most ever on NBCSN for an NHL regular-season “late” game (puck drop after 9 p.m. ET), excluding last season’s Ducks-Kings outdoor game at Dodger Stadium.

Combined, the doubleheader averaged a 0.43 household rating and 679,000 viewers, making it the best NHL opening night doubleheader on record (data available since 1993), and up 19% and 13%, respectively, vs. the most-recent opening night doubleheader to begin the 2011-12 season (0.36 HH rating; 601,000 viewers).

Dallas: 1.4

1.5 (not that it makes much difference)

@bhorn55

Stars open season strong in ratings. Scored a 1.5 last night. Averaged 0.7 last season.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

My source logged the game until 10p, so slight boost D/T overtime. 2.1 from 10-10:30, 2.5 from 10:15-10:30.

 

[frivolousz21]

Yeah the blues pulled a huge rating.

Largest ever for a season opener.

"Last night's game earned a 6.4 household rating in St. Louis, making it the highest rating ever for a season opener on FOX Sports Midwest. The rating was 32 percent higher than last year's opener (Oct. 3 vs. Nashville). ‪#‎stlblues‬ ‪#‎OurBlues‬"

Last night locals:

Phoenix: 0.7

Where did you get this number for Phoenix? If it's a regular source that updates with each game on FSNAZ, I'd love to keep going there to see the numbers.

 

[Llama19]

In the Phoenix market, a 0.7 rating would be approximately 12,794 households.

About the Chicago opening night ratings...

The opening night ratings showed Chicago really was pumped up for the start of the Blackhawks season Thursday.

The Blackhawks’ 3-2 overtime victory over Dallas did a 5.4 rating on Comcast SportsNet, the highest ever for a season opener on the network. The rating peaked at 8:45 p.m. with more than 225,000 homes tuning in.

Bigger markets in LA and NY.
