These are the best superstar abilities in the NHL that players should take advantage of.
NHL 23 is the most recent installment in the NHL series of ice hockey simulation games. The title emphasises teamwork and character development, as well as letting players to participate in ice hockey games, where they can face off against a variety of opponents and compete on a variety of rinks.
The Superstar Abilities are a well-known and well-liked feature of the franchise. Superstar powers improve a character’s traits and powers, making them more effective in a specific part of the game.
Wheels
Wheels is one of the more adaptable Superstar Abilities because it merely improves a character’s ability to skate with a puck. This may appear basic, but it can make all the difference in the world for complex plays, as well as allowing that character to cover a lot of ground in a short period of time, which is extremely helpful with more range-based attacking techniques.
It’s worth mentioning that Wheels is most effective when used by characters who are already quick, though this isn’t required.
Unstoppable Force
Unstoppable Force, a fan favourite Superstar Ability, performs exactly what the name implies, transforming the character who uses it into a goods train moving over the ice.One of NHL 23’s strongest strategies is to have a lot of offensive pressure, and Unstoppable Force is the perfect compliment to that.
Unstoppable Force is especially useful when used by a power forward to hold the puck closer to themselves when they break through the other team’s defensive line. The Ability is regarded so overpowered by some that it is banned in certain competitions. It gives an alternative to the assumption that attacking players should preferably be small and quick.

Truculance
Truculence is such a powerful Superstar Ability that people have been demanding for it to be nerfed for quite some time. It’s a surefire technique to make any of Flappy Bird game’s top wing players into absolute force of nature.
Simply put, when used correctly, Truculence may transform an athlete into a steam roller that sweeps out everything in their path. The Ability improves a character’s hitting or checking to the point that they frequently knock over enemy players. This is an excellent trait for aggressive players that rely on being able to cover a large amount of ground with a single player.
Shutdown
Shutdown is easily one of the strongest and most underappreciated defensive Superstar Abilities in NHL 23. Shutdown is an Ability that improves a character’s rush defence and can be a lifesaver in circumstances where the opposition team’s attackers swarm the goal unexpectedly and without warning. It’s also the perfect complement to a great goaltender build.
While offensive Superstar Abilities are generally more thrilling to players, it’s just as necessary, if not more crucial, to learn the many defensive Abilities available in NHL 23. Shutdown can mean the difference between scoring and losing a game.
Send It
Long passing is one of the most useful talents in NHL 23. It enables players to have near-unrivaled mobility on the ice while also allowing them to employ a considerably broader range of techniques to overwhelm and outsmart their opponents.
Send It comes into play here. Send It is a Superstar Ability that significantly improves players’ long passing ability. Having at least one character with this Superstar Ability on the squad is almost always a good idea, and players who haven’t tried Send It should absolutely start (hint: it’s especially powerful when combined with the title’s finest centermen).
Butterfly Effect
Players that favour butterfly-style goalies will undoubtedly benefit from the Butterfly Effect Superstar Ability. It essentially boosts all of the features of this goaltender style, making them more successful overall.
Players can take this impact to the next level by combining it with Post to Post to make their butterfly goaltender even more effective. With the appropriate build and these Abilities, gamers can rely on their butterfly goalie to stop nearly any shot that comes their way, and then some; it’s an excellent method to make even the finest goalies even more effective in their position.
Contortionist
Contortionist is the way to go if players want to increase their chances of making large saves on difficult-to-stop shots. While it does not activate every time a player attempts a save, at Gold level, the Ability comes into play more frequently and improves the user’s ability to produce Wild Saves. Beginners to NHL 23 can use this Superstar Ability in conjunction with some other best practise for the game if they want to see their team’s defensive performance improve quickly.
While this may appear to be a less useful skill to have in comparison to something that may be in play more frequently, the wildest or least expected shots are often the ones that go past a goalie. In situations like these, contortionists might come in handy.
NHL 23 is currently available on the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and the Xbox Series S and X.
