How do you steal the puck in NHL22?
When I play against the CPU, it steals the puck from my player easily. How do I do the same? Please advise.

That is frustrating, but when I beat the CPU to the puck on the icing I still get called for icing if the puck is on the other side. This needs to be fixed.

Community ManagerIcing is based on who can touch the puck first. So, if the defending player is closer to the puck, even when it wraps around the boards, icing can be called. If you have any video of questionable icing calls, please post it.
What I previously mentioned will help you steal the puck. Without seeing your attempts at causing turnovers, it's hard to determine why you're struggling here.
The icing problem has occurred for many years. Say for example the puck is iced down the left side of the rink, and my player comes down the right side of the ice, and easily beats the CPU player coming down the left side of the ice, I'm still called for icing . This needs to be fixed.

I'm aware of that issue with icing. It's not always perfect with pucks around the boards. I'll pass on the feedback. As far as the puck stealing goes, without video, I have to assume what's happening is incidental contact. The best thing to do in that case keep the puck out of reach by stick handling, deking or passing. Try not to let opposing players get too close to you.
As one commentator sad the CPU has been easily stealing the puck along with the icing issue since NHL12. This should be correctable after all this time.
On stealing the puck, I usually hear a click by the CPU when it steals the puck with no effort from me. What I'm asking is there lever or button I can click to do the same? Please advise.
