NHL ratings: Stanley Cup rematch draws Versus’ biggest regular-season NHL number

"A rematch of the last two Stanley Cup Finals set a viewership record for Versus," Sports Media Watch writes, adding, "Monday’s Penguins/Red Wings game drew 622,000 viewers on Versus, the most viewers ever for a regular-season NHL game on the network. The game peaked with 760,000 viewers. The previous record was 577,000 viewers for Maple Leafs/Red Wings in ’08. Overall, the game ranks as the most-viewed regular season NHL telecast on cable since 2004, the last year ESPN and ESPN2 held the television rights."
