Game 3 of The Stanley Cup Finals (Tampa Bay at Montreal) led NBC to victory in adults 18-49 (see averages above), but just 1.98 million viewers placed it third for the evening.

In season finale news, “Emergency Call” on ABC closed season two (and potentially its series run) with a modest 2,61 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3/ 3 in adults 18-49 in the Friday 8 p.m. ET hour. That led into newsmagazine ?20/20″ at 2.58 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3/ 3 in the demo (#3) from 9-11 p.m.

Elsewhere, Fox featured “WWE Friday Night Smackdown” from 8-10 p.m. See averages above, The CW did not even register in adults 18-49 with its pairing of an encore telecast of “Charmed” and an original installment of “Dynasty.” And CBS was in all repeats.
