The Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings were in last place when the 2019-20 season was paused, but they became the two latest teams to earn wins in the NHL 20 Player Gaming Challenge.
Each squad earned a sweep in their respective three-game series.
Thursday's first battle saw Drake Caggiula and Alex DeBrincat of the Chicago Blackhawks against Michael Amadio and Blake Lizotte of the Los Angeles Kings.
The Blackhawks duo is certainly more established on the ice, with DeBrincat becoming one of the more exciting young forwards in the NHL.
