NHL 16 Predicts Washington Capitals Grab First Ever Stanley Cup

The EA Sports NHL 16 Stanley Cup Playoff Simulation predicts that the Washington Capitals will defeat the San Jose Sharks in seven games in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final, bringing home the franchise’s first ever Stanley Cup Championship since the team was founded in 1974. Home-ice advantage helps lift Washington to a close 4-2 victory in game seven, with Justin Williams scoring a go-ahead goal in the third period before Alex Ovechkin seals the deal into an empty net in the game’s dying seconds. Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby caps a historic regular season to take home the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.
