  "summary": "Amazon has secured local streaming rights for six NHL teams, including the Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, and St. Louis Blues, starting in the 2026-2027 season. These teams will have their games exclusively streamed on Prime Video, along with pre- and post-game shows and other team programming, for fans within their regional territories. NHL Chief Media Officer and Senior Executive Vice President David Proper stated that the NHL considered multiple proposals and ultimately chose Amazon's offer, noting that the agreement provides flexibility to meet the evolving market demands. Prime Video already hosts various local sports team coverage, and this addition brings the total number of NHL teams with exclusive local streaming rights on Amazon to seven.",
