- ... that NHL 21 marks the second time that Alexander Ovechkin (pictured) has appeared on the cover of an NHL video game, the first being NHL 07? Source: Polygon — "Alexander Ovechkin, the surefire future Hall-of-Famer from the Washington Capitals, will be the game’s cover athlete. It is Ovi’s second time gracing the cover of an EA Sports NHL title; he previously appeared on the box for 2006’s NHL 07, ahead of his second year in the league."

Overall: 
The article in question was created and added on-time, and is long enough (~6,000 bytes by 31 August). Article is cited with reliable secondary sources, neutral in tone. Earwig's Copyvio Detector did show a 62.3% match with The HipsterZOMBIEJoint Experience, however, the article's content came first before the article was published on the third-party website, so plagiarism is not an issue. The hook is cited and is interesting for the fact that (to my knowledge) not many (or any) professional sports players are ingrained on a video-game art cover twice or more often. With the added benefit the the player was featured more than 10 years after his initial appearance. Image in the article is appropriately attributed, and the image provided by the nominator can suffice with 100px.
The only issue for this is the exact image in this nomination is not used in the article, which is understandable since the cover-art is under fair use. Adding in the exact image into the article with a description could help as done on the Swedish Wikipedia. No major problems spotted besides this. Though, do not let this small issue delay this nomination to be approved if it's not a big issue, as I'm a tad new to reviewing. :) Adog (Talk・Cont) 19:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
