Matt Duchene scores a great goal against San Jose releasing the puck quickly.
Here is the breakdown
A. Low to High- As Duchene feels the pressure down low, he moves the puck up to the point. This pass is on Wilson's forehand where it is easy to handle.
B. Create Space- As Wilson receives this pass, he attacks the open ice in front of him. There is a breakdown in coverage in the defensive zone that allows the weak side D to step in. When a breakdown like this happens someone must help out. Now as players are reacting to the breakdown a backside seam opens up as Duchene pops out into open ice.
C. On Stick- Off Stick- The seam pass across the ice is hard and on the forehand, in a spot where Duchene can handle the puck. He stops the puck and gets it into a shooting position, without stick-handling the puck it is being delivered to the net. This quick release does not allow for the goalie to get across the net. A great shot by a very talented player.
Come work on your scoring ability and quick release shooting at the net as this Skill is part of The RINK's Performance Program Curriculum.
