Late August/early September means it’s the hockey doldrums, but it also means a new version of EA Sports’ NHL franchise is on the horizon.
NHL18® will be out in the coming weeks. Today, EA released a full list of the Top 50 players in the game, and four Bruins made the list.
They are:
- David Pastrnak - 47th in the game with an 87 rating
- Brad Marchand - 46th in the game with an 87 rating
- Tuukka Rask - 36th in the game with an 88 rating
- Patrice Bergeron - 18th in the game with an 89 rating
Rask ended up being the 8th-ranked goalie, behind Carey Price, Braden Holtby, Sergei Bobrovsky, Cory Schneider, Matt Murray, Henrik Lundqvist and Devan Dubnyk.
Pastrnak was #6 on the “Young Stars” list as well.
The Top 5 on the list, in order: Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Price and Alexander Ovechkin.
