Hockey Wins Saturday Night Ratings

NBC’s broadcast of Betting Hockey online Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final was the top rated-show on television last Saturday night.



The telecast from Detroit of the Red Wings’ 5-0 victory over the Penguins was watched by an average of 4.28 million people, according to Nielsen overnight figures. That figure is down slightly from NBC’s Game 1 telecast, also on a Saturday night, but the small dropoff for the 5-0 game is considered insignificant given the one-sidedness of the score by the midway point of the second period.
