Ratings Breakdown:
NBC topped this first Monday in June as a result of the Stanley Cup Finals, which averaged an estimated 3.8 rating/7 share in households from 8-11 p.m. Results for any live sporting event are always estimated, of course.

In season premiere news, veteran “So You Think You Can Dance” on Fox returned with minimal interest. It scored a 2.2/ 4 in households in the 9 p.m. hour, which was equal to its “Beat Shazzam!” lead-in. At this point, Fox might benefit if it rested the dance competition for a season…or two.

Also original last night was canceled CBS drama “The Code” at a third-place 3.4/ 6 at 9 p.m., which built from its encore “Man With a Plan” lead-in (#3: 2.8/ 5 at 8:30 p.m.) by 21 percent.

Perennial ABC summer favorite “The Bachelorette,” meanwhile, scored a 4.1/ 7 from 8-10 p.m., which was on par with the 4.3/ 7 on the year-ago evening. The remainder of the night was repeat telecasts as follows:
