For our comparison we decided to roll back the active rosters to September 9th, which was the update that came before the game launched (September 13th). Seeing as we are now more than 33.3% of the way through the season, we thought it was finally fair to see which players have enjoyed a healthy boost to their stats. Thursday, the newest roster update was released online. However, some merely wish to wait on EA Sports to release a new roster update to see how 28+ games played has impacted player ratings. Some people take time to reflect upon the standings, stats leaderboards and look ahead on the schedule to see what key match-ups lie ahead for their team. Mark it down people, we're officially just over a third of the way into the 2016-17 NHL season.
