The Blackhawks’ overtime Game 6 win over the Canucks earned a 12.45 rating on CSN Chicago Sunday night, the highest rating ever for a Blackhawks game on the network.
The previous record was set last Thursday night, by Blackhawks/Canucks Game 5 (10.58). Prior to this year, the record was 10.14 for last year’s Blackhawks/Canucks Game 3.
The Blackhawks, once down 3-0 in the series, have won the last three to force a deciding Game 7.
