Los Angeles, CA – May 20, 2021 – Versus Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VS) (“Versus” or the “Company”) (FRANKFURT: BMVB) announced 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.
