Refs got their thumbs on the scale and were able to be part of the show. Just like they wanted.

The Flag getting quite the workout tonight.

In completely unrelated news:

Overall, TNT Sports’ NHL season average is currently down 24% vs. last season

Going back to Black Friday, TNT drew a 0.22 (-12%) and 483,000 (-9%) for Penguins-Bruins and 177,000 for Avalanche-Stars (-56%).

Two nights earlier, Capitals-Lightning drew a 0.13 and 268,000 and Golden Knights-Avalanche followed with 207,000. Viewership fell sharply from both the equivalent night of last season (Red Wings-Rangers: 757K) and the same night before Thanksgiving last season (Bruins-Panthers: 517K; Golden Knights-Stars 314K).

TNT averaged a 0.13 rating and 237,000 viewers for Wednesday’s Hurricanes-Flyers NHL regular season game, down 48% and 54% respectively from Bruins-Panthers on Thanksgiving Eve last year (0.25, 517K).

But Sports Media Watch is just a Canadian hater I guess. Will the NHL learn before it's too late that selling out its stars and traditional TV markets for “growth” is a horribad strat? Stay tuned (or not, like most fans apparently).
