Dallas Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood and goaltending coach Jeff Reese added a tiring new twist to crease movement drills at the end of a rehab skate in Vancouver earlier this week.

Simply put, Reese positioned himself atop the crease and battled with Wedgewood, who is in the process of working his way back from a lower-body injury, as he performed a variety of crease movements. Wedgewood’s crease movement patterns weren’t to blind spots, however, as Reese positioned pucks in five different spots on the ice typical of a power-play attack.

“We had an off-net guy on each side, a top-of-the-point quarterback and both flanks,” said Wedgewood. “Pick your five spots and pretty much just going through any kind of plays you might expect to see. So, you’ve got weak side one-timers, screens up top, integrations in and out of the post. We’re in the middle of a workout and he’s giving me a little bit of a battle.”
