NHL 23 has only been out a month, and EA is still looking to enhance its presentation on the ice. Currently, only six teams featured on-ice projections; the Avalanche, Maple Leafs, Canucks, Flyers, Lighting, and Hurricanes. However, NHL 23 will receive a patch update that brings on-ice projection to the remaining 26 teams on November 8.

In addition, EA will release another patch later this month to further enhance the player’s experience on the ice. But for now, you can check out everything patch 1.2 brings to NHL 23 below.
