The false deke, often known as the Kucherov, is one of the more remarkable dekes performed in the NHL recently. Nikita Kucherov, a winger with the Lightning, was able to pull off a cunning maneuver where he faked a shot and let the puck slip through the goalie to beat a goaltender. It can sound strange if a goaltender appears to be focused on a specific move, but it's not a poor option. How does Kucherov appear in NHL 23? Let's look at it.
How to do the Kucherov deke in NHL 23
In NHL 23, you should stride the deke to position yourself before performing the Kucherov/fake deke. The controls for a stride deke are as follows:
- Press LB/L1 and then shift the left stick to either the left or the right. The direction that you shift will depend on whether your skater is left-handed or right-handed.
- For left-handed shots, shift the left stick to the right.
- For right-handed shots, move this stick to the left.
You must now place the puck on your backhand to continue. For a right-handed shot, move the right analog stick to the left; for a left-handed shot, move it to the right. They serve as the phony deke's controls. However, this move can be quite challenging to execute in a game, so it might be preferable to reserve this for a shootout. Alternatively, it can be helpful when playing online against goalies who might not be particularly skilled with the sticks.
