EA Sports has revealed NHL 24's cover star, and it's none other than Colorado Avalanche phenom Cale Makar. The 24-year-old who also plays for Team Canada is one of the NHL's brightest stars and most electric players, and he's also known for that time he ate a cookie on the bench.
Makar won a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in 2022, also taking home the Conn Smythe trophy as the playoff MVP. Makar also won the Norris trophy in 2022 for being the league's best defenseman.
