Season-ticket sales on the rise around the NHL

Kings fans

File this under “reasons to avoid a lockout” – according to SportsBusiness Journal, season-ticket sales are going just swimmingly around most of the NHL.

Among the notables:

---- Dallas Stars, up 5 to 10 percent

---- Florida Panthers, new sales up 148 percent compared to this time last year

---- Los Angeles Kings, expect to sell out of season tickets for the first time since moving to the Staples Center in 1999

---- St. Louis Blues, new sales up “significantly”

The only team that reported decreased sales was Columbus.

Six teams -- Calgary, Carolina, Colorado, Edmonton, the New York Islanders and New York Rangers -- declined to comment. Of those six, Carolina, Colorado and the Islanders would be the most interesting to know.
