Flyers-Penguins at Lincoln Financial Field was one of the best NHL regular season games you'll see. In fact, statistically speaking, it was the most entertaining since 2014. 

According to sportsmediawatch.com, the Flyers' 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins on Saturday, February 23rd peaked with 2.65 million viewers from 11pm e.t. through the conclusion. That is the largest non-Winter Classic NHL regular season audience since Penguins-Blackhawks had 2.76 million in the 2014 Stadium Series.
