by from on (#12HQ2)
The Music City delivered a smash hit on Sunday.
The NHL All-Star Game in Nashville posted a 1.17 overnight rating, establishing a new NBCSN record for the event.
This year's NHL All-Star Game overnight rating (1.17) is a 24% increase vs. the 2015 overnight delivery (0.94).

The five most tuned-in American markets were Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, and Detroit.
| Market | Rating |
|---|---|
| Buffalo | 3.7 |
| Pittsburgh | 3.7 |
| Chicago | 3.3 |
| St. Louis | 2.9 |
| Detroit | 2.9 |
It's evident the league got it right with the revamped three-on-three format. They certainly have John Scott to thank as well.
LA, I know you're up for it and certainly capable, but Nashville reset the standard for the NHL All Star weekend.
