In at least two markets, the 2009-10 NHL season got off to a great start.
The defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins opened their season with big ratings locally. The Penguins’ battle against the Rangers last Friday drew a 10.5 rating on FSN Pittsburgh, the highest rating ever for a Penguins season opener on the network.
Rangers/Penguins ranks among the 5 highest rated regular season Penguins telecasts ever on FSN Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, in Boston, the Bruins’ opener against the Hurricanes drew a 3.9 rating on NESN Saturday night — the network’s highest rating ever for a Bruins’ season opener.
