Cable network Versus reported Thursday that the 750,000 viewers it averaged for Tuesday nightâ€™s Pittsburgh Penguins-Philadelphia Flyers showdown in Philadelphia was its most-watched regular-season game, surpassing the record of 730,000 set by the same teams in this season's opener at Pittsburgh.

The network also reported the telecast peaked at about a million viewers and was the most-watched regular-season game on cable since December 2003.

Local ratings werenâ€™t bad, either. Philadelphia achieved its highest-ever Versus rating for a regular-season game, beating a New Jersey Devils-Flyers game in 2009. Pittsburgh received an 11.2 HH rating, which is 50 percent higher than its 2009-10 regular-season average.

Versus was the No. 1 cable network in both markets on Tuesday night.
