NHL 21 Season Opening Roster Update Arrives Later This Week

With the official NHL season underway, EA Sports and the NHL 21 team plan to release their season opening roster update later this week. The NHLPA agreement requires a rookie to play a regular season game, before they can be added to the official NHL 21 roster. To get the most rookies into the game as possible, the team is taking a few extra days to get them in.

We’re aiming to deliver the season opening #NHL21 roster update later next week. Our NHLPA agreement requires any rookie to play a regular season game before we can add them to the roster, a few extra days allows us to get as many rookies in as possible. Thanks for your patience.
