Weak Side Wing Slashes Through Neutral Zone by Penguins

https://vimeo.com/874664873

In this clip the Penguins show a great example of how the weak side wing can support through the neutral zone. Some coaches call this "slashing" through the neutral zone.

What to Watch

The Penguins defense receives the puck well outside the dots and makes a strong pass to the strong side wing.
The wing is facing the defense so they are protecting the puck from the opponents defender.
The Penguin's weak side wing support by "slashing" though the neutral zone.
The Penguin's center stays well below the puck.
Once the puck is chipped into space for the weak side wing the center beats the opponents players up the ice to create a 2 on 1.
