Tampa Bay’s 4-2 win in Game Two — which aired opposite the Buffalo Sabres’ overtime win in Minnesota — slipped to a 5.7 here. The Sabres game averaged a 10.1 rating.
A double digit number for an off-time October game against a relatively boring Western Conference opponent ( all while competing against the World Series) bodes well for the Buffalo region's bid to have the highest TV ratings among American markets for the fourth consecutive season.
