Saturday: NBC Sports' coverage of the fifth and deciding game of the L.A. Kings-Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup playoff series drew a 1.1 rating, which was best for the night. The game won in every timeslot, except for 10 p.m. where it tied with CBS.

Sunday: NBC's top show was a two-hour 9-11 p.m. repeat of "America's Got Talent" (1.3 in 18-49 and 1.6 million viewers). The network faced tough broadcast competition with ABC's Game 2 coverage of the NBA Finals and CBS' annual Tony Awards telecast.
