#1 Alex Ovechkin’s visor makes a comeback
This is the best news for Washington Capitals fans. The other two, no offense, had nothing to do with the Capitals. But this final reason to get excited for NHL 23 does. Alex Ovechkin’s visor is coming back.
Alex Ovechkin has had several different looks in hockey video games whether it was 2K Sports or EA Sports. Ovechkin in the first look of NHL 23 in the trailer is shown wearing a mirrored visor while wearing his CCM gear.
Specifically Ovechkin wears the CCM Vector V8 helmet and the Jet Speed FT1 gloves, while using the Rib For Trigger.
Ovechkin was previously on the NHL 21 cover as well as NHL 2K10 and NHL 07. The graphics overall from this recent NHL installment promise to be good and if that trailer is any indication, it’s about to be even more fun playing as the great eight.
Hey @G20YT good news 👀 #NHL23

We haven’t seen Ovechkin with a mirrored visor really since his early days. It really took off during his rookie season. It even caused goaltenders like Martin Brodeur to criticize the visors saying it give Ovechkin an unfair advantage.
Having Ovechkin wearing a mirrored visor is the best idea EA Sports has had in years.
