SportsBusiness Journal collected ratings information for 21 U.S.-based teams. Information on the Carolina Hurricanes and Nashville Predators was not available. Ratings also were not available for the league's seven Canadian teams.

Twelve of the teams posted ratings declines. The Colorado Avalanche have seen the largest drop, down 57 percent, as the team is on pace to finish with one of the NHL's worst records in the last decade. Despite currently being playoff bound, the Anaheim Ducks are down 46 percent.

Nine teams saw their ratings increase over last season, led by the Columbus Blue Jackets, whose ratings are up 110 percent after the team reeled off 16 straight victories earlier this season. While the New Jersey Devils have struggled, their acquisition of star winger Taylor Hall has boosted their ratings 58 percent.

After dethroning the Pittsburgh Penguins atop the NHL's local TV ratings chart last season, the Buffalo Sabres again have the league's highest ratings. Sabres games on MSG are averaging a 6.43 rating, down slightly from last season.

Another good-news story is happening in Minnesota, where the Wild vaulted into the top five. Ratings are up 23 percent on FS North for the team, which sits in first place in the Western Conference.

Holy crap at those Ducks ratings. What happened? And to see the Panthers up 35% yet still that bad?

Too bad New York can't support a hockey team.

Something something Coyotes have same interest as Devils and Stars, something something arena in the middle of nowhere if only they'd move to Phoenix proper, something something fuck it all.

Why are Sabres ratings so high?

What else you gonna do in Buffalo?
