The Blackhawks also were at 110% capacity at their home venue. The Stars saw a league-best 12.5% jump in attendance this season. No other Western Conference club saw a double-digit percentage gain in attendance. The Coyotes ranked last among WC clubs at 13,345 fans per game, down 3%. The club also was the only WC club to have games under 80% capacity. See yesterday's issue for Eastern Conference figures (THE DAILY).
