The Edmonton Oilers season is still over a month away, so today we can highlight a video game that fans will want to play this year.

EA Sports announced the next NHL game in their lineup. NHL 22’s trailer launched a few days ago and the cover athlete is none other than Toronto Maple Leafs’ star Auston Matthews. Was one Edmonton Oilers star robbed?

Connor McDavid just put up a crazy amount of points in such a short period of time, and he had just as much playoff success this past season as Matthews, and yet Matthews got the nod for the cover.
