Alex Ovechkin and Wayne Gretzky took their talents to the virtual world, and they didn't disappoint.

The Great One and the Great Eight faced off Wednesday night in NHL 20 on the Washington Capitals' Twitch stream to raise money for coronavirus relief.

In the first of two games they played, Gretzky opened the scoring, and it's safe to say Ovi was not happy.

Late in the second period, Ovechkin evened things up with the help of a relatively new addition to the Capitals' lineup.

The Capitals superstar's flair for the dramatic and penchant for exuberant celebrations extend to video games, too, as Ovechkin forced overtime with a goal in the dying seconds.

However, No. 99 got the last laugh in the extra frame.

Ovechkin exacted some revenge in the second game, scoring as himself less than a minute in.

Gretzky played alongside his son, Ty, in the first game, but switched to his other son, Trevor, for the second contest. After Ovechkin scored to make it 2-0 in the latter affair, the Great One had a great line about his decision to change partners.

Ovechkin held on for a 4-1 victory, which they agreed to end after two periods.

Both competitors shared parting messages on Twitter afterward.

The event raised more than $20,000, and both participants' families matched half of that total apiece to bring it up to $40,000, the Capitals announced. The funds will be split between the Edmonton Food Bank and Monumental Sports and Entertainment Foundation's "Feeding the Frontlines" fund.
