Nashville has Predators fever.
The club earned its highest ever local television ratings in Sunday’s Game 3 win over the St. Louis Blues:
The #Preds game three win over the Blues got a 9.4 rating in Nashville, the team's highest TV rating ever.

The second and third periods received double-digit ratings, peaking at 14.3 as the Predators closed out the 3-1 win, Layman adds.
The 9.4 average rating means 60 percent of televisions that were on during that time were tuned to the hockey game.
Based on team success and fan attention, Nashville is certainly one of the hottest NHL markets these days.
