Panthers Diamond Penalty Kill vs Bruins' 1-3-1 Power Play

https://vimeo.com/860016943

The 1-3-1 power play is a tough power play to defend against. In this clip the Florida Panthers show a few principles that work well against defending this type of power play.

What to Watch

Once the puck goes to the top the Panthers set up in a diamond formation.
The player at the top of the diamond is responsible for not allowing an easy shot on net from the point.
The two players on the edge are responsible for taking away the shooting lane if the puck is moved to the one of the players on the outside.
If the puck is moved to the outside and then down low the players on the edge collapse to the player in the middle.
All of the players have to be willing to make themselves big in the shooting lanes and block shots.
