EA Sports' NHL 25 has three wingers from the Lightning, Bruins and Rangers with a 95 rating. Its top wingers include two Panthers, Maple Leafs and Bolts.
Update: Lucas Raymond signed an eight-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings Monday night. This story has been updated as a result.
EA Sports revealed its top-rated left and right wingers for NHL 25.
The video game brand posted its top 10 right wingers and top 10 left wingers to social media on Monday.
Two Atlantic Division rivals feature at the top of the right wing list. Tampa Bay Lightning right winger Nikita Kucherov and Boston Bruins sniper David Pastrnak both have 95 overall ratings, although EA Sports ranked Kucherov first and Pastrnak second.
New York Rangers playmaker Artemi Panarin also has a 95 rating as the top left winger in NHL 25.
On its website, EA Sports listed where the players rank across all positions. Despite having the same overall rating, Kucherov ranks third overall, while Pastrnak and Panarin rank seventh and eighth, respectively.
Kucherov, 31, won the Art Ross Trophy last season as the NHL's top point-producer, recording a career-high 144 points in 81 games. He even became the fifth player in NHL history to tally 100 assists in a season, reaching the mark just after Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid did the same.
Pastrnak, 28, had 47 goals and 110 points in 82 games for the Bruins, one season after getting 61 goals and 113 points in 2022-23. In NHL 25, Pastrnak has a 94 rating for wrist-shot power and a 91 rating for slapshot power.
Panarin, meanwhile, finished in between Kucherov and Pastrnak for most points by a winger last season, with 120 in 82 games. The 32-year-old had more goals than the other two, however, with 49.
The NHL's Atlantic Division was well-represented in the full top-20 list, with three teams having two players on the list.
Tampa Bay had Kucherov and new addition Jake Guentzel on the list. Guentzel is the seventh-best left winger with a 90 rating.
The Stanley Cup-champion Florida Panthers have Matthew Tkachuk (92 rating) and Sam Reinhart (91) ranked sixth and seventh among all wingers, respectively. Reinhart is coming off a career-high 57-goal, 94-point campaign.
The Toronto Maple Leafs were the only club twice represented in the top 10 right wingers, with Mitch Marner and William Nylander receiving 91 ratings.
Also of note is Detroit Red Wings right winger Lucas Raymond, who appears with an 88 rating. Raymond was still an unsigned RFA up until Monday evening, when he signed an eight-year contract worth $8.075 million per year. The 22-year-old Raymond and 23-year-old defenseman Moritz Seider were awaiting a contract for Detroit this coming season, but all attention turns to Seider's negotiations.
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin appears as the 10th-best left winger. His 95 slapshot power rating and 93 wrist shot power rating boost his overall to 89 as he chases down the all-time NHL goals record in real life.
NHL 25 is scheduled for release on Oct. 4 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. For more hockey video game and eSports news, visit The Hockey News' Gaming site.
