Strong Side D Activation Leads to Goal by Sabres

https://vimeo.com/896728437

When a strong side defense activates in the offensive zone it can open up offensive options. In this clip the strong side defense for the Buffalo Sabres activates and creates space and a passing lane that results in a goal.

What to Watch

Buffalo forward moves puck to the strong side defenseman who bumps the puck back down the half wall
The strong side defenseman then dives through the dots and cuts through the opposition defensive zone coverage
This movement pulls a defender with Buffalo's strong side D creating space for the puck carrier to skate through before moving the puck to the weakside D for a shot and goal
