NBC’s primetime coverage of Saturday's Stadium Series finale between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks in a snowy Soldier Field notched a 2.1 overnight rating, making it the highest overnight ever on NBC for a non-Winter Classic NHL regular season game, according to data from Nielsen.
The Blackhawks' 5-1 win earned a 14.9 rating in Chicago, making it the highest-rated regular season Blackhawks game ever on NBC, even topping the 2009 NHL Winter Classic, where the Blackhawks fell to the Red Wings 6-4 at Wrigley Field.
