Wild Set New (Non-Lockout Season) Local Ratings Record
- Tuesday’s Senators/Wild NHL regular season game drew a 7.12 rating on Fox Sports North in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market, the network’s highest rating for a regular season Wild game, excluding the 2012-13 lockout season. The previous mark was a 6.13 for Wild/Oilers the previous Tuesday, and the record before that was a 5.93 for Wild/Jets three weeks earlier. With the lockout season included, the record is a 7.65 for Avalanche/Wild in January 2013. (foxsports.com)
