The NHL told InGame Monday that it is “extremely confident that we are taking all necessary steps to ensure the integrity and security of our games,” following a letter it and the NFL, NBA, NCAA, MLB, and MLS received Thursday from Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat. In the letters, Blumenthal sought information on league protocols for ensuring sports integrity amid the “further entrenchment of gambling and prediction markets in professional and college sports. ”
Blumenthal requested a response from the leagues by May 1.
Each of the governing bodies queried by Blumenthal except the NCAA has at least one official partnership with a sportsbook.
