Carolina Defender Plays Body and Supporting Player Gets Puck

https://vimeo.com/858743514

This clip shows exactly how to play the body and create a turnover. It is not a big flashy hit but the Carolina Hurricanes defender eliminates the New Jersy Devils' forward from the puck and it leads to an easy breakout.

What to Watch

Carolina Hurricanes defender plays the body and finishes the New Jersey Devils' forward along the wall, separating them from the puck.
The other important factor is that Carolina's supporting player is closer than the Devils' supporting player so it is an easy win.
A great formula all over the ice is the first player eliminates the body to create separation from the puck and the 2nd player retrieves the loose puck.
