Penguins players compete in Fortnite tournament

The NHLPA is running a charity gaming tournament called the NHLPA Open in which over 80 hockey players compete in the video game Fortnite.

The tournament was organized by the Avalanche's J.T. Compher and Leafs' Zach Hyman. Participating teams play four games, and the winning team wins $200,000, which will be donated to a charity.

The tournament has 23 teams representing NHL teams, and five "wild card" teams, including a team of Swedish players and a team of women's players.

The Penguins' team in the tournament is Zach Aston-Reese, Bryan Rust, and Brian Dumoulin, with Aston-Reese serving as team captain.
