Winter Classic drew best NHL TV rating since '75 |
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Winter Classic drew the biggest television audience for a regular-season NHL game in nearly 34 years. The Detroit Red Wings' 6-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day attracted an average of 4.4 million U.S. viewers on NBC, the network said Monday. That's the most since a Philadelphia-New York Rangers game on Feb. 23, 1975, according to Nielsen Media Research. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
