Thursday is huge for the NHL. Last Thursday the NHL had 15 games on. Tomorrow it has 11.
What matters more, in terms of putting bums on seats, is that the NHL does not want to collide with the end of baseball season. It takes a lot of ticket sales to fill an MLB ballpark, and those people are not going to hockey games at the same time.
