Matty Beniers Changes Angle by Pulling Puck Into His Feet

https://vimeo.com/913808145

This is a nice goal by Matty Beniers of the Seattle Kraken. Many players will settle for the shot from outside the dots in this situation but you will see how Beniers creates a better angle for the shot.

What to Watch

As he enters the zone he creates a wide base and sits on his inside edges
His head is up and he is scanning the ice for information and to provide deception
The puck is off his hip in attack position to keep it away from the defender's stick
He slides towards the middle of the ice and pulls the puck into his feet to give himself a better angle and force the goalie to adjust to the changing angle
