Chabot Gains the Middle of the Ice on Power Play

https://vimeo.com/903761294

One of the important elements of getting set up on a power play is to gain the middle of the ice high in the zone with the puck. When you do this you become a threat and open up options. In this clip Thomas Chabot does a nice job of receiving the puck and getting to the middle right away. It is a a good clip for any player that will be running the power play to watch.

What to Watch

Chabot retrieves the puck and gains the middle as quickly as he can with no hesitation
As he sucks in a penalty killer then he distributes the puck back to the half wall
When he sucks the penalty killer out then it opens up a seam through the slot area
The supporting player that receives the puck at the half wall makes a quick pass through this seam
