NHL players including Werenski, Coronato, and Beniers participated in a NASCAR racing simulator test at the NHL/NHLPA Media Tour in Las Vegas. The players competed in simulated races at Daytona International Speedway with varying levels of success. The event was part of the NHL's strategy to increase visibility and engagement through collaboration with popular sports entities like NASCAR.

What's your read, folks?
I highly doubt anyone's need for speed was truly tested in one of those fancy simulators. Reminds me of the time I saw Ken Dryden play goal against some NHLers in a video game tournament in Montreal back in '91. Werenski and Coronato are probably better suited to stickhandling around a virtual track than they would be handling an actual 180 mph ride.
