“Vizual Edge has added a quality element to my preparation as a goaltender. I use the game day drills every game before heading to the rink. It’s a combination of recognition, reaction and focus that activates my brain and eyes to feel ready for what’s to come.” — Jordan Binnington

THE SCENARIO AND SAVE
Woll is facing an in-zone sequence against the Seattle Kraken, but since there isn’t really one camera angle that allows us to capture all the key elements in a single freeze frame to analyze and discuss, we’re going to go straight to the video this week. As you watch it, however, see how early in the sequence you can identify the primary threat:
How soon were you able to spot the pass option emerging from Woll’s right? It’s probably given away in the headline, but did you see why he was able to do the same?
Now for Woll’s push across once the pass is made: Did you like that he slid? If it was you, would you prefer to come across on your skates, at least with the initial push, or would you slide?
Once the shooter pulls it back into the middle, what allows Woll to regain his center net?
