The NHL’s Nashville Predators and DraftKings on Thursday announced a multiyear deal making DraftKings an official sports betting operator and the Daily Fantasy Sports operator of the team.

Tennessee launched its online sports betting mark on Nov. 1 with four operators: DraftKings, BetMGM, FanDuel and local operator Action 247.

The NHL is targeting Jan. 13 as the start date for the 2021 season, according to reports, but a lot of details still need to be worked out for the league to begin then.
