Peoples have been posting in the technical issues sub-forum about that. Look for Fat-man lag, out of order packets. Game like Fifa and Rocket league appently has the same phenomena and they have larger community that looked into it, more than NHL: https://www.reddit.com/r/EASportsFC/comments/176715x/will_ea_ever_fix_fatman_lag/
It's a complex issue, but I can say it matches my experience with this game since NHL17. I happen to have been through a few ISP and saw the difference each time i've upgraded my service. Overall skating got way better. Eventho, my original ISP speed should have been plenty sufficient. Strangely, locked animations (like puck sweep, mid air puck grab etc.) plays out noticeably faster, which lead me to believe all actions happens quicker, hence puck battle/pick up disparity, but those would be harder to diagnose because of the many factors affecting the outcome.
For the ai you can notice the inconsistency in 1v1 versus, some games your ai can be constantly trailing the play looking out of place other times they just houding the opponent for you. Which lead me to believe something funny is happening with the net coding.
For the RNG, it's very easy to look back and see what direction this game took since the first eashl iteration.
The coding of this game seems to have got out of hand, hence many bugs arent getting fixed this year, or just keep reappearing.
