18 May 2021 - 9:00PM
Versus Systems Inc. (“Versus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VS)
(FRANKFURT: BMVB) announced today that it will be working with
Xcite Interactive, a company that Versus recently signed a
definitive agreement to acquire, to power the fan experience for a
number of the teams playing in the NHL playoffs for the Stanley
Cup.
Six of the sixteen NHL playoff teams, including the Colorado
Avalanche, Carolina Hurricanes, Vegas Golden Knights, Tampa Bay
Lightning, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Nashville Predators are using
Versus and Xcite’s predictive platforms, engagement tools, and
games throughout the playoffs. Versus and Xcite’s second screen
engagement platform will augment fans’ participation during the
Stanley Cup showdowns that determine which teams will play for the
Cup. The interactive experiences will include a range of games from
predictive trivia games, traditional arcade games, social
interaction, and games that enable fans to play along while
watching the game in-venue or at home.
According to NHL.com, the NHL saw record viewership at its
season’s opening this year, when 1.73 million viewers watched the
Washington Capitals versus the Pittsburgh Penguins.
“The Stanley Cup playoffs is a huge global event with millions
of fans worldwide, and Versus is thrilled to support multiple
world-class teams and their fans as the teams skate for the cup,”
says Matthew Pierce, CEO of Versus Systems.
The playoff games start this week and continue through May
culminating with the Stanley Cup finals to determine the winner of
the Stanley Cup in July 2021. Fans can view the playoff schedule at
