The 5 Best Teams in NHL 16

Washington Capitals

Washington arguably has the best NHL player on their team with Alexander Ovechkin, so with that in mind, be prepared for your opponent to stop him at whatever cost. You can use this to your advantage, as online opponents can be overzealous when it came to stopping Ovechkin, drawing penalties. You can apply the pressure if your opponent gives you a powerplay early; again, use this to your advantage.

Another member of Washington’s squad that you should take notice of is the newly acquired T.J. Oshie. Although he has the tendency to fall over in real NHL games, his character in NHL 16 seems to do just fine staying on his skates. Using him, along with the always dangerous Nicklas Backstrom, you can be sure to have high scoring games.
