NBC eyes huge ad sales night as Bruins force a Stanley Cup Final Game 7

Having Zambonied the St. Louis Blues on their home ice by a score of 5-1, the Boston Bruins on Sunday night ensured that the 2019 Stanley Cup Final will go the full seven games. And while hockey fans are happy to see the season get extended by another three regulation periods, NBC is downright overjoyed.

That the last Game 7 also featured Boston should help advertisers justify the expense of their additional investment in hockey. Not only is Boston the nation’s ninth-largest media market (and third-biggest if you toss in Providence), but the Bruins have appeared in six of the 10 most-watched Stanley Cup Final broadcasts of all time.

According to Standard Media Index data, the average unit cost in the three 2018 Stanley Cup Final games that aired on NBC was $113,702 a pop, and overall spend for the five-game series (two of which were carried by the cable...
