NHL 20 Regional Covers
For those who do not know, the cover star of NHL 20 is the Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Auston Matthews.
Although Matthews is the cover star of the main NHL 20 version, EA has typically released region-specific versions of the game. These versions also have different cover stars for the icons from that specific region.
This year past, Finland’s cover featured Patrik Laine and Swedens’s cover featured Elias Pettersson.
