How to unlock the Self Sacrifice achievement in NHL 10 - Definitive Guide
Broken down the method consists of you picking a good team, against a badly rated team through the "play now" game mode.
Settings to hardcore and skill to rookie, before the game begins move all the sliders to your benefit. Also ensuring your injury occurrence slider is maxed.
Have the player you intend to try to score with run into the boards, injury themselves in a fight, get checked hard...etc. To cause an injury.
Once the player is injured, pop in a goal with them and the achievement should unlock.
EDIT: I managed after a few hours. Game did not save game settings..
Do this in season mode so that you have more to work with. Wait until one of your teammates gets hurt. When the player is injured, dress him and put him in the game. Pass the puck to the injured player and make sure you score with him in that game.
*Tip* Make sure to turn all the sliders down so that they are in your favor. *Tip*
I did this during my Battle for the cup mode. Once you have a player that is injured, it will give you the option to sit him out or play him. Just select play him and remember what line he is on. Try to use him to score a goal and the achievement will unlock. This took me to my 3rd game and I had 2 injured players on the same line. You can edit your lines in the pause menu so your injured player are on the same line if needed.
