  2. Artemi Panarin (92 Overall) – New York Rangers
  3. Alex Ovechkin (92 Overall) – Washington Capitals
  4. Brad Marchand (91 Overall) – Boston Bruins

In comparison to the selection of right wingers in NHL 23, the left wingers have more 90+ overalls and a deeper range of talent in their Top 10 as a whole. Though Ovechkin is not listed as the number one left winger, he still remains to be as elite as ever and NHL 23 recognized that by having him tie for the first place spot at 92 overall.

Here’s the full list:

  1. Alex Ovechkin (92 Overall) – Washington Capitals

Aside from Forsberg replacing Guentzel this year, everyone on this NHL 22 list is back on Top 10 in NHL 23. Despite not many new faces, there was a lot of fluctuation from game to game. After Ovechkin secured the number one spot last year, Huberdeau’s big 2021-22 season led him to be ranked as the best left winger in the game.
