With the new instalment of the EA Sports NHL game coming out shortly, rankings have been released and overalls have been getting posted to social media.
Fans are already criticizing parts of the game that have been revealed over the last month, but for most, the excitement is ramping up as the season inches even closer.
While fans pushed back on just about every single part of the overalls that were posted, the Los Angeles Kings may have something to celebrate.
Connor Hellebuyck is rated the best goalie in #NHL26 🧱
Should Shesterkin, Vasilevskiy or someone else be on top instead?

Kings’ goaltender Darcy Kuemper was given an 87 overall, which places him 10th overall, just behind Juuse Saros and Thatcher Demko, who were given an 88 overall rating.
Kuemper wasn’t in the top 10 last season, so for him to get that recognition is awesome, after a solid year between the pipes for the Kings.
Early access for NHL 26 begins on September 5th, while the full release for those who didn’t purchase the early access version is September 12th.
