"📸: Alan Dobbins/RMNB Alex Ovechkin received a slight boost in rating from EA Sports for NHL 26. Ovechkin is back up to 90 overall, one year after dropping into the 80s (89) in the video game franchise for the first time in his career. The legendary winger followed up the digital disrespect by posting 44 goals in 65 games during his age-39 season, breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record along the way."
"According to the publishers, Ovechkin is the sixth-best left wing in the NHL, trailing just Kirill Kaprizov (94), Matthew Tkachuk (93), Artemi Panarin (92), Kyle Connor (92), and Jesper Bratt (91). He ranks 10th-best among left wings in NHL 25, jumping ahead of Jason Robertson (89), Filip Forsberg (89), Jake Guentzel (89), and Brady Tkachuk (89) this year. Ovechkin is the 12th-best winger overall, with Nikita Kucherov (96), David Pastrnak (94), Mikko Rantanen (93), Sam Reinhart (93),"
Alex Ovechkin's overall rating in NHL 26 rose to 90 following a 44-goal age-39 season that included breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record. EA Sports released individual player ratings ahead of the game's September 12 launch and selected Matthew Tkachuk as the cover athlete. Ovechkin is listed as the sixth-best left wing and the 12th-best winger overall, placed behind several top right-side scorers. EA added a feature that mirrors real-life tendencies, so players will behave like their on-ice counterparts during situations such as the power play. Defenseman John Carlson is the only other Capitals player in a positional top-10 listing, rated 88 overall.
