Just took a quick look at the attendances from around the league and it surprised me to see that a full third of the NHL is drawing less than 15,000 per game. There are also 7 teams that are filling less than 80% of their buildings which is an alarming stat, especially St. Louis that is only filling 56% of their rink.
The difference from first (Montreal 21,273) and worst (Islanders 10,768) is greater than the bottom two teams draw on an average night.
