The NHL is trying to help those hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic while also protecting hockey fans from infection in the process.
The league is now selling team-branded masks on its website store, with all proceeds going to help food banks across the United States and Canada.
Three-packs of masks cost $24.99, and the league pledges on its site that all the profits will be donated to Feeding America and Food Banks Canada.
