Ratings Breakdown:
Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals (St. Louis Blues at Boston Bruins) led NBC to Thursday overnight victory with an estimated 4.2 rating/8 share in households in primetime. The actual end time for the game was 11:06 p.m. ET, and the year-ago match-up rated higher at a 4.8/ 9 in the overnights.

In probable series finale news, “Paradise Hotel” on Fox concluded with a modest 1.2/ 2 from 8-10 p.m. The moral of this story: not every revival works.
