LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Auston Matthews is the cover athlete for EA Sports’ NHL 20.
This is a Toronto Maple Leafs first: James van Riemsdyk and William Nylander have been featured on regional NHL covers in the past, but this is the first time that a Leaf will be the worldwide cover star.
In conjunction with this announcement, Matthews sat down with SB Nation to talk about a variety of things, from his happiness with his Chel rating to horseback riding and his Hispanic heritage.
NHL 20 will be released in September 2019.
