The relation between the ratings for the Isles and Devils has narrowed significantly this season. Isles telecasts are averaging .47, which is about 85% of the Devils' .55 rating. Last season, Isles telecasts drew about 64% of the Devils' ratings.
Among Adults 25-54, Isles are now drawing 94% of the Devils rating (.34 vs .36). Last season, the Isles drew only 47% of the Devils' Adult 25-54 rating (.09 vs .19).
The ratings for the Rangers continue to dwarf the other two teams ... combined.
