Comcast is closing NBC Sports Network later in the year so the NHL had to go somewhere.

It's not an exclusive deal for the whole NHL in the US, so it is likely some games could be retained on NBCU's USA Network or streamed on Peacock.

I would guess that when the Rogers deal is finished in Canada, there will be no exclusivity.  Or if there is, it won't be near what the NHL received from Rogers.
