Zuccarello salty after NHL 20 rates him behind ex-linemate Zibanejad

Try as he might, Mats Zuccarello can't quite reach Mika Zibanejad's level in EA Sports NHL 20.

The Minnesota Wild forward was salty about his 84 overall rating in the game, which was one point lower than the New York Rangers forward and his former linemate.

Zibanejad and Zuccarello's rating were unveiled Friday, along with five other NHL players, on the

. Zibanejad had a career season with 30 goals and 74 points while playing with Zuccarello on his right wing until the Rangers traded Zuccarello to the Dallas Stars on Feb. 23.
Zibanejad, who also was rated 85 in NHL 19, could only laugh at Zuccarello's comment.

Zuccarello, who signed a five-year, $30 million contract with Minnesota on July 1, wasn't the only NHL player reacting to his rating in the new video game on social media. Columbus Blue Jackets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois showed off his meme game while also commenting on his 85 rating in the new game.
