NHL Playoff Ratings Slump: Panthers vs. Hurricanes Opener Hits Low

Fewer people are watching the NHL playoffs this year, especially the game between the Panthers and Hurricanes.

The first game got the lowest number of viewers in a while.

People aren't as excited because the teams have played each other before, and the stories around the games aren't new or interesting.

Some experts think the way the games are shown isn't grabbing viewers, and popular commentators are missing.

If the NHL doesn't make changes, fewer people might care about the games.
