FYI the page you linked says EA Play is 5.99/month in the paragraphBut below it shows a promotion for 1.59/ first month and 7.99/month after that.Is it 5.99 or 7.99?

I found the trial in the "not sold separately" version of NHL 26Not the pre-order bundles

Here’s a question. Is the deluxe edition a timed 10 hour trial? Or is it just through EA Play?

Hey there. The 10 hour trial is a part of the EA Play subscription. The Deluxe Edition of NHL 26 comes with 7 days of early access. That is not limited to 10 hours.

Is it possible to download the game before the release with the 10h trial?

NHL 26 doesn't really have anything new for the asking price and they are also unable to meet the release time. They should stop mentioning that it is a niche game. The sales problem doesn't come from that but rather from the overall creation and respect for the customer.
