David Pastrnak is social distancing with "Fortnite," and he called on gamers to join him.

The Boston Bruins forward invited fans to play video games with him Monday during the NHL pause due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Pastrnak shared a post via Instagram stories asking "good players" to send him a message to play the video game. He's not the only NHL player gaming while quarantined. JT Brown, a forward in the Minnesota Wild organization and avid gamer, also invited players to join him on Twitch.

For fans who preferred to stick to hockey, NJ Devil, the New Jersey Devils mascot, was playing EA Sports NHL 20 on his Twitch page to pass the time.

Bailey the Los Angeles Kings mascot, simulated a game between the Kings and Anaheim Ducks, and spoiler alert: Los Angeles won. But for anyone who missed it, he posted it on YouTube.
