NHL Attendance For Each Team After 6 Home Games: 2012-13

In past years we’ve tracked NHL attendance in 10 game segments, basically 25% of a teams home schedule.

Due to the exciting lockout we were all forced to endure, teams will only be playing 24 home games this year. In keeping with 25% of the schedule, we are posting NHL attendance for each team after 6 home games this year.

I’m still not sure of the accuracy of the Panthers numbers, as I don’t see how they are running at over 100% capacity.
