The Michigan is a unique goal in NHL 24, and here’s exactly how you can pull it off in the latest installment of the beloved Hockey series.

There are a lot of kinds of goals you can pull off in NHL 24 but one of the trickiest maneuvers is the Michigan, otherwise called the lacrosse-style goal. This is executed when a player puts the hockey puck on the blade of their stick and flings it towards the net much like you would do in a game of lacrosse.

Players including Trevor Zegras and Andrei Svechnikov have put the move at the forefront of the NHL in recent years with their skills but how can you pull it off in NHL 24? Here’s everything you need to know about how to do Michigan in the latest NHL game.

How to do the Michigan in NHL 24

There are two ways to perform the Michigan in NHL 24, and it will depend on what kind of controls one is using.

For those who want to perform the lacrosse-style goal via the Skill Stick schema, here are the controls:

Xbox: Forehand + LB (Hold) + RS (Hold) + Right Stick (rotate counterclockwise)
PlayStation: Forehand + L1 (Hold) + R3 (Hold) + Right Stick (rotate counterclockwise)

For those who don’t know how to put the stick on the forehand, here’s what you’ll need to do.

To put the puck on the forehand, move the right stick to either the left or right, depending on whether the shooter is left-handed or right-handed, respectively.

Individuals who are using the Total Control input system need to hold Y (for Xbox) or Triangle (for PlayStation) and then release by the goaltender.

Those who want to do the move with a higher rate of success and with ease are with the Total Control schema. Given the number of inputs needed to perform it with the Skill Stick, that’s not surprising.
