Game Lagging A lot

Hello, I am attempting to play NHL 14, and it gets super laggy in the defensive zone and is pretty unplayable. I am very confused as I have a solid PC that should be able to out perform a PS3.

My Specs:
- Intel i7-9750H
- 32 Gigs of RAM
- GeForce GTX 1660Ti

My Settings:
   
   
   

Any suggestions would be appreciated,
