The Bruins looked great in their 7-3 victory over the Flyers Sunday night on NBC Sports Network. So did the picturesque Lake Tahoe backdrop.
Turns out the ratings for the broadcast also look quite good.
Per NBC, the broadcast was the most-watched regular-season game in NBC Sports Network’s 15-year history of televising the NHL. It is also the first to average more than a million viewers.
The broadcast drew 1.019 million TV-only viewers, making it the most-watched NHL regular-season game on cable since an ESPN broadcast of a Sharks-Red Wings game in 2002 (1.278 million).
It also was the most-streamed game in NBC Sports Digital history (49,700).
