Thursday’s overnight estimates indicate that 4,472,000 Canadians watched Sportsnet National’s coverage of Canada’s overtime victory in the 4 Nations Face-off final.
Clearly, Canada was primed to celebrate this win over the United States. Almost everyone — an estimated 4,449,000 viewers — stuck with the 22-minute post-game interviews and celebrations. Another 870,000 kept watching past midnight on the extended version of Sportsnet Central prime.
In the US, BetMGM Sportsbook says it was the most bet-on hockey game in the gambling site’s history. A spokesperson told US News that, “Canada winning was a good outcome for the sportbook.”
