Why can't I win faceoffs in NHL 21? When you play NHL 21, you may encounter this problem. You may want to find a way out and win faceoffs in HUT 21, and then you are at the right place!

 
 

Why winning faceoffs is so key?
We all know the old adage that the game starts on the puck drop, and that’s why winning faceoffs is so key.  Giving your team the puck right away asserts control, allowing your team to dictate tempo, to increase puck possession time, to run set plays off the draws, and to regain the puck safely on defensive faceoffs.
 
How to win faceoffs in NHL 21?
Timing
Watching for the puck drop is crucial. As the referee holds the puck down and the players take positions inside the circle, watch the puck position closely. Usually, the player who performs the faceoff action first, after the puck hits the ice, is the player who gains possession and passes to a teammate. It is essential to watch and learn the timing of the puck drop to establish a set pattern for your faceoff style. Once you understand when the referee lets the puck go, faceoffs in NHL 21 become a whole lot easier to win.
 
Different types of faceoffs and how to execute them in-game

Move Name	Controller Movement
Backhand Back	Hold right stick away from your player’s dominant hand, move down on the right stick at puck drop.
Backhand Sticklift	Hold right stick away from your player’s dominant hand, move up on the right stick at puck drop.
Forehand Back	Hold right stick toward your player’s dominant hand, move down on the right stick at puck drop.
Forehand Sticklift	Hold right stick toward your player’s dominant hand, move up on the right stick at puck drop.
Tie-up	Hold the right stick to the right or left, move up with both the right and left sticks at puck drop.
Deke / Shot	Press LB and up on right stick at puck drop.

 
Deke / Shot is one of the riskiest and, potentially, most rewarding ways to win a faceoff. To perform a deke on the faceoff dot, hold the L1 button for PS4 and LB for Xbox One prior to the puck being dropped and then pressing the right analog stick forward the moment after the puck is released. The timing is absolutely unforgiving with this one and relies not only on your faceoff stat but also on your hand-eye and deke stats as well. While not as risky, that doesn’t mean every situation calls for a shot off the faceoff nor will it always pay off.  To shoot from the faceoff dot, you can have either stance active, meaning you can lean the right analog stick in either direction but make sure you let go the moment the puck drops and press forward just as the puck hits the ice, as if you were performing a snap shot.
