As those preliminary numbers stand, NBC Sports' 8-11 p.m. ET coverage of Stanley Cup Final hockey ranks #1 for the night among the Big 4 nets in adults 18-49, as well as adults 18-34, adults 25-54, all key adult-male demos, women 18-34 and women 18-49 (tie).

In metered-market results, which are time zone-adjusted, last night's NBC Sports 8-11 p.m. ET coverage of Stanley Cup Final hockey, featuring the Chicago Blackhawks at the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1, won the night with a 4.23 rating, 7 share in household results from the 56 markets metered by Nielsen Media Research, making this the second-highest-rated Game 1 of a Stanley Cup Final to date on NBC, behind only 2013's triple-overnight Game 1 between the Blackhawks and Bruins.

The Blackhawks' 2-1 comeback win last night produced a 28.0 rating in the Chicago market, the third-best NHL rating to date on NBC, behind only the two Stanley Cup-clinching Game 6 telecasts in 2010 and 2013

Game 1 produced a 17.9 rating in the Tampa market, best ever for Lightning game on the NBC networks and up +50% versus last week's Game 7 Eastern Conference Final versus the New York Rangers (11.9 on NBCSN)
