Blues trumpet record TV ratings for October

Alex Pietrangelo congratulates Jaroslav Halak

From a club press release:

St. Louis Blues telecasts earned their highest October TV ratings in the team’s 18 seasons on FOX Sports Midwest.

Blues games on FOX Sports Midwest averaged a 3.5 household rating in St. Louis in October, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s up 94 percent vs. October 2011 (1.8) and 13 percent higher than the previous October best on FOX Sports Midwest, a 3.1 in 1997.

And let’s not forget the competition for sports fans’ eyeballs in that town during last month -- there were 17 St. Louis Cardinals playoff games in October as the beloved baseball team made it all the way to the World Series.

The Blues (8-2-2) play tonight in Montreal. The game can be seen live on FOX Sports Midwest, starting at 6:30 p.m. local time.

The Blues are on NBCSN next Tuesday when they host Phoenix.
