Saturday Final Nationals: Penguins-Predators NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 3 on NBCSN Jumps Slightly from Year-Ago Levels

NBCSN was Saturday night’s top network in total viewers (approx. 2.9 million viewers), adults 18-49 (approx. 1.0 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 0.8 rating), and adults 25-54 (approx. 1.2 rating). The cable sports network aired Game 3 of the “2017 NHL Stanley Cup Final” between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Nashville Predators. The game averaged a Total Audience Delivery (TAD) of 3.033 million viewers (2.953 million from TV), up 6 percent from last year’s Game 3 (Pittsburgh-San Jose June 4, 2016: 2.83 million).

NBC Sports reported Pittsburgh was the game’s top rated market with a 22.2 local rating. The Predators’ 5-1 win registered a 16.6 rating in Nashville which was an all-time high for an NHL game on NBCSN within the market.

The 2017 Stanley Cup Final on NBC and NBCSN has averaged TAD of 3.727 million viewers, up 18 percent vs. 2016. It is the highest viewership through three games for a Stanley Cup Final without an Original Six team (Boston Bruins, Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, and Toronto Maple Leafs) since 1999.
