Montreal Canadiens: Breaking down the NHL Player Gaming Challenge

NHL 20 has been pretty busy since the National Hockey League went on pause. At first, it started out by simulating regular-season games that were meant to be played, giving the Montreal Canadiens some sense of action. Then players began taking it upon themselves to do more with the platform as stars began hosting streams raising money for various charities and support programs in North America. And now things are being taken up a notch.

The new event was announced Thursday by the NHL, who has partnered up with ESL Gaming and Honda. The NHL Player Gaming Challenge will begin April 30th and last four weeks, where each team in the league will have one or two players representing each team.
