How to make a chip deke in NHL 23

To make a Chip Deke you need to press a combination of buttons. For Xbox platforms, press LB + RT. On PlayStation, select L1 + R1. Those are all the controls required for a chip deke.

We should also note that in some cases, making sure the puck is square on the forehand can help. For right-handed users, move either the right stick (for Xbox) or the right analog stick (for PlayStation) to the right. For left-handers, move one of the sticks to the left. You can do the chip-deke without this check, but if you want to make sure it’s done with the puck on your forehand, this extra step can help.

However, this is just one type of Deke that can be performed in NHL 23. You can find additional guides on how to perform a litany of others including lacrosse-style Michigan or Kucherov. Also, we have control layouts and tips that you can find in our comprehensive deking guide.
