Fat rebounds
Take your "big shooter" player with the puck, skate him into the opposing team's zone holding (Turbo) and blast the puck near the red dot (just outside the blue line), but be onside. This shot causes rebounds and unexpected goals. Remember, it is better to shoot from the red dot on the side of the goalie's blocker so he cannot glove it. Using a sniper will result in rebounds not as large, but have a better chance for a goal. Using an all out attack is the best strategy for this trick.

Bouncing puck
Go to game settings menu and adjust the "Puck Friction", "Puck Gravity" and every option you can adjust on that screen that has to do with the puck. Go to a game and shoot the puck down the ice. If it does not hit the goalie, the puck should be bouncing all over the place until it runs out of speed.

Get puck back
If you are down by a goal late in the game and the other team has the puck, move your "Offensive Quick Play" to "All Out Attack" and your "Defensive Quick Play" to "High Pressure" to put maximum pressure on the opposing team so you can get the puck back in your possession.

Goalie scraps
Take one of your enforcers and get as close to your goalie as possible. Then, smash another player into your goalie. This causes interference with the goalie and will make him mad. If this is done correctly or enough times, you should see your goalie grappling with a player then he will fight with the other goalie. It is difficult to get him to scrap, but when he does it is well worth it. Note: It will take some time to get this to happen.
