#1 Shoot from everywhere with Alex Ovechkin

The number one tip I recommend to get better with the Washington Capitals is to use Alex Ovechkin… A lot!

NHL 20 improved their shooting mechanics and now your player will take whatever shot is best for the situation. Whether it’s a back door tap in or a one knee clapper, you don’t have to be nervous that your player will go backhand an empty netter wide just becuase he took the pass wrong.

Ovechkin has put up video game like numbers throughout his storied NHL career. In his third season in 2007-08, Ovechkin scored a whooping 65 goals to win his first Hart Trophy as the league’s MVP. Very rarely did Ovechin not have a 50 goal season and he came up just short of the mark this season with 48 goals before the league shut down due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Ovechkin shots from the office work as do Ovechkn shots from everywhere. Use Ovechkin or have him on your team and you have a good chance at winning.

Those are our top 3 ways to get better with the team in NHL 20 while we wait for the release of NHL 21. We can’t wait for that game to hit the shelves especially with Alex Ovechkin on the front cover.
