Edmonton Oilers teammates Darnell Nurse and Caleb Jones beat Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson 2-0 in a three-game series as part of the NHL 20 Player Gaming Challenge on Saturday.

The challenge has played out over the past few weeks amid the coronavirus pandemic and featured players from the league's 31 teams, and Willson, facing each other in games of EA Sports' NHL 20.

While Willson is an NFL player, he is the representative for the upcoming Seattle expansion franchise.

Willson played hockey in high school, and that background appeared to be working well for him in Game 1, as he jumped out to a 4-0 lead while playing as the Metropolitan Division All-Stars against Nurse and Jones' Oilers.
