EA Sports has revealed the fifty top-ranked players in their soon-to-be-released NHL 20 video game.
Stanley Cup Champion and Conn Smythe trophy winner Alex Ovechkin placed fourth with a score of 92. The response he tweeted out was pure Ovi.

Ahead of Ovechkin in the rankings are Nikita Kucherov (who also got a 92–as did fifth-ranked Nathan MacKinnon?–but hey, EA Sports had to make it a ranked list somehow, so, 🤷). The number two spot goes to number 87, Sidney Crosby, with one point more than Kuch and Ovi.
Leading the pack is Connor McDavid who deserves his score of 94 and does not deserve to be trapped in Edmonton.
Defenseman John Carlson made the list at 39th, and, as usual, was staying close to his goaltender: Braden Holtby was 38th. Both had a score of 89.
