reuters.com/sports/nhl-breaks-single-season-attendance-mark-with-three-days-remaining-2024-04-16/

Quick Glance: Record Attendance Achieved in NHL Season 2024

The National Hockey League announced on Monday that the single-season attendance record has been broken. A total of 22,560,634 fans have watched games in the regular season through Monday, filling arenas at 97 percent capacity, surpassing the previous record of 22,436,532 from the 2022-23 season.

For three seasons now, the league has consisted of 32 teams, including the Seattle Kraken. Games this season have been played in the 32 home arenas as well as in various stadiums worldwide, including Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, T-Mobile Park in Seattle, and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

A highlight was the game on February 18, where 79,690 spectators were present - the third-largest audience in NHL history, as the New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders at MetLife Stadium 6-5 in overtime.

The schedule still includes eight games on Tuesday, four on Wednesday, and six on Thursday to conclude the regular season.

mercurynews.com/2024/04/13/after-loss-san-jose-sharks-will-finish-as-nhls-last-place-team/

Quick Glance: San Jose Sharks Positioned Last in NHL at Season End

The San Jose Sharks completed their final home game of the season on Saturday, resulting as expected based on the past two seasons.

Two goals by Kirill Kaprizov in just 47 seconds late in the second period transformed a tight game into another home defeat. The Minnesota Wild triumphed 6-2 before a full crowd of 17,435 on Fan Appreciation Night at SAP Center.

A silver lining is that the Sharks are now confirmed in 32nd and final place in the NHL standings, holding a 25.5% chance of winning the NHL draft lottery next month.

Goalie Mackenzie Blackwood made 32 saves and faced minimal support from the skaters in front. With 212 goals conceded during 5-on-5 play, the Sharks currently rank at the bottom of the NHL.

Quick Glance: NHL suspends Wild's Ryan Hartman for stick throw incident

The outcome of the Wild's overtime loss to Vegas last Saturday continues to have repercussions.

Following the celebration of the Golden Knights' 2-1 victory at Xcel Energy Center, Ryan Hartman was suspended for three games for unsportsmanlike behavior.

The NHL's Department of Player Safety indicated that Hartman deliberately threw his stick onto the ice out of frustration.

Apart from Hartman's suspension, there were additional consequences stemming from the Wild's unexpected result against Vegas. Subsequently, both St. Louis and Los Angeles suffered defeats, providing the Wild with an opportunity to narrow the gap with their rivals in the Western Conference wild-card race by potentially gaining a single point.
