The #1 goalie vision & cognitive training tool trusted by over 50 NHL & AHL goalies.
As Nashville Predators Goalie Director Mitch Korn says, "In my 34-year NHL career I have always searched for a platform that improves the eyes, improves the processing and makes the training quick, convenient, and effective. Vizual Edge does it all!"

Spending time with Devon Levi in Kelowna, B.C. last summer allowed InGoal to catch up with the Buffalo Sabres goalie and grab fresh content on and off the ice. It also reminded us how great his insights are, and that they should not be wasted, so we’re going back into our Pro Reads video session together from the previous summer for more great breakdowns.

THE SEQUENCE AND SAVE

In this video review, Levi is facing the New Jersey Devils and a quick 2-on-1 in the slot after a turnover along the right boards to a defenseman at the point. Unfortunately, the replays don’t provide a great opportunity to freeze frame the key decision point for Levi so we’re going to go straight to video. As you watch the replay below, see if you can identify the choice he makes that allows him to make what is still a highlight reel save.

Again, the replay isn’t ideal because Levi is out of the frame as the puck is turned over and passed into the slot to create the scoring chance, but what did you notice about his depth and positioning relative to the player who takes that pass at the left hash mark?
