^ Interesting stats... thanks for posting.
Personally, I'd be surprised if anything even close to 10% of New Yorkers followed the NHL beyond merely being aware that there are hockey teams there. I've been there several times during hockey season and if I didn't flip through the sports section of the Daily News, I would not have seen any signs of the Rangers presence. Contrast with the Yankees, who are front and centre even in the offseason.
I mean, even in a hockey city like Winnipeg there are still scores of people who could not give a crap about the Jets and either have a basic level of information gleaned from morning radio shows, etc., or simply do not know anything at all and have never watched a game on TV in their lives.
Oh, and PS, Jets win Jets win. The fortnite didn't stop Laine from scoring last night
