For me(a strictly online vs player) , lately I've been really successful at passing the puck across the face of goal for a nice top shelfer. I've gotten better at predicting whether or not and where my opponent will lay his stick down. I'm usually money on breakaways if I have a good distance between me and the last defender and if he doesn't take control of his goalie. I get the occasional one timer slapshots from the point and wide angles but mostly score on those passes.
Most of the goals scored on me are all bull****! No jk. They're usually from slapshots and one timers from the point. I try to guard the slot with my life since most people try to dance their way in there the majority of the time anyway. I do give up a lot of rebounds but most of them don't go in.
I also like to pick my shots carefully so I protect the puck as much as I can until I find an opening rather than firing a barrage of shots to the goalie hoping one of them will go through. I've had a few games where I would win 3-1 or 4-1 when my shot total only equaled like 8-10 while my opponent hit more around 30.
