For the past several seasons we’ve been tracking NHL attendance at different points throughout the year. Our first look this season is for home attendance for each NHL team at the 10 game mark.
We also include that average attendance after 10 games for the previous three seasons.
14 teams have averaged at least 100 percent capacity or more through 10 games.
The Jets have the highest capacity at 126.6 percent, but there numbers are skewed by hosting an outdoor game.
21 teams were at least at 95 percent capacity after 10 home games.
Five teams were at below 80 percent capacity, and one team was below 60 percent.
