Alex Ovechkin is this year’s cover athlete for NHL 21 and for good reason. Like a fine wine, Ovi is getting better with age. And so is his digi double.

After scoring 48 goals and winning his ninth Rocket Richard Trophy, Ovechkin’s overall rating in the video game franchise has improved for the first time in four years. It’s all the more remarkable considering he’s going into his age 35 season.

This year, Ovechkin’s rating is 93 overall.

It’s the highest it’s been since NHL 17 when he was a 94. Ovechkin’s never been higher rated than 95, which he was during his first year in the game (NHL 07).

In NHL 21, Digi Ovi has the hardest slap shot and wrist shot. He has the best slap shot accuracy and the fourth-most accurate wrist shot.

Digi Ovi is also the fourth strongest player in the game.

NHL 21 will be officially released on October 16 though hockey fans who preorder The Great 8 edition can get the game three days early.
