The NHL on Monday became the second league to announce a betting sponsorship, and it's with the same partner that bought the NBA deal last month.

The league announced that MGM Resorts will be an official betting partner. Unlike the NBA's agreement, the NHL's deal with MGM is not exclusive, allowing the league to sell the sponsorship to other partners if it wishes. The NHL also didn't shy away from using the term "betting partner," while the official NBA language for MGM's deal is "official gaming partner."
