The two are the greatest to ever play the game and on Wednesday night the Washington Capitals superstar took on an NHL icon in a video game in the name of charity. In addition to gaming, Alex Ovechkin and Wayne Gretzky helped raise money for novel coronavirus relief and then matched the donations themselves.
Ovechkin and Gretzky each won a game in NHL 20 and then mutually called it a tie. Gretzky took the first game while Ovechkin won the second. Gretzky was joined by his son Ty in the first game with his other son Trevor taking over in the second game.
